The closure comprises: a cap (10) having a top wall (11) and a tubular skirt (13) provided with an internal thread (14), a first collar (16, 24) provided on the top wall (11) of the cap, a second collar (17, 27) which extends towards the top wall (11) of the cap, the second collar (17, 27) being substantially parallel to the inner surface of the tubular skirt (13) and to the first collar (16, 24) but spaced radially from the skirt (13) by an annular space (20) and from the first collar (16, 24) by a radial space (18), at least one first element (21, 31) positioned in the annular space (20), at least one second element (22, 26) positioned in the radial space (18) provided with means (22c, 26a) for connection to the neck (1) of the container, preventing axial movements, means (19, 23, 17c) positioned between the first element (21, 31) and the second element (22, 26) in order to bring about the appearance of a visible sign meaning "open" on a portion of the tubular skirt (13) of the cap, indicating the first opening of the closure.
