Built for an air race in 1939, the SAI.7 evolved into the SAI.7T and S.7 trainer and tourist aircraft during and after WW2. The final version, this Super S.7 armed trainer, never got further than two prototypes.

The type lost a competition for a second level trainer to the Fiat G.49, which in turn was beaten by the T-6 in the end. Only two prototypes were built, this one seeing the light as I-RAIE in 1952. Became I-AMAC, then MM554 of the RSV as it is displayed now in full markings. Showing the very good access to the P&W Wasp engine.

The type was the first all-metal trainer for the AMI, its development heavily dependent on foreign sales. Especially an order from Argentina for 70 aircraft, including this one, made the difference. Later, this airplane served with the Syrian and Austrian forces as well, before returning to Italy as I-AELM with the Air Defence Ministry in 1964. Was restored to taxiing condition and displayed as such in 2007 at Pratica di Mare.

This 'Sparviero' is one of two recovered from Lebanon, the other being on display in the Caproni Museum at Trento. A third one, being restored in Italy, completes the trio of only survivors of the type. A very fast and agile medium (torpedo) bomber, it stems from an early 1930s design for a fast passenger transport. Posing in full WW2 markings of the 278th Torpedo Bombing Squadron as 'MM24327'. Its real identity was L-112 of the Lebanese air force, ex MM45508.

This 'Sparviero' is one of two recovered from Lebanon, the other being on display in the Caproni Museum at Trento. A third one, being restored in Italy, completes the trio of only survivors of the type. A very fast and agile medium (torpedo) bomber, it stems from an early 1930s design for a fast passenger transport. Posing in full WW2 markings of the 278th Torpedo Bombing Squadron as 'MM24327'. Its real identity was L-112 of the Lebanese air force, ex MM45508.

Since no original G.55 survived WW2, this example was reconstructed from the wreck of G.59 MM53265. In full markings of the squadron named after Capitano Giovanni Bonet, whose signature on the nose was the squadron logo. The serial of the original airframe has not been applied to the exterior of this final versiion.

One of two MC.202s still in existence, displayed in an operational setting. Despite some shortcomings it was a feared opponent, especially in dogfights. In full markings of the 4°Stormo, which adopted both the name and stallion emblem of WW1 ace Francesco Baracca. Serial not seen on the outside.

Having left the factory in April 1942, this is the only surviving Z.506 in the world. It is considered one of the best seaplanes ever built. Its code 84-4 is genuine from the 1950s; the serial is not visibly worn.

Very manoevrable but too slow to be a fighter even in the mid 1930s, the Ro.41 was most used as a trainer, in single or tandem seating. This one was not wearing any markings yet.

Conceived as a long range civil transport seaplane in 1935, the CANT Z.506 'Airone' gained more fame in its modified version for military use. The last remaining of almost 350 built can be admired right here at its former home base. She was built as a model B for the ASW role and later converted into the S model for SAR duties. Serial not painted on the aircraft.
