Hi friends,
by incident I found the lombardiabeniculturali.it website containing pictures of an aircraft exhibitions in Milan 1935 and 1937. The pictures are downloadable as PDFs. One of them contains a sportsplane unknown to me.
Instead of showing the cut out picture, I attached the original PDF file to show you which comments are included. “Non identificato” means the author, but could mean the aircraft as well. The mentioned Piero Magni Vale is seen in the center background, most behind there could be a Breda 79. All further googling remained without success.
Are you able to identify this aircraft? Thank you for every answer!
Regards, RT

Thank you Consul for finding it! Also thanks to Mothminor, I think you are right about the CANT 1010.
Quoting Moze in Wieesso’s link (once more thanks for that): “On page 132 of Thompson’s Italian Civil and Military Aircraft book if you happen to have a copy-no pic though, just a short description”. I was already sorry not yet having bought the “Thompson”. But without a picture, I would not have found it either!:eek:

I think it is the Compagnia Nazionale Aeronautica CNA-15. If you read the captions to the photo on the hosting site it identifies the subject and if you look into information about that aircraft manufacturer it fits. The aircraft is sitting below a banner identifying its maker too!

The high-wing aircraft behind the sportsplane in Consul’s shot RT is a CANT Z1010 –
It seems to have the same engine and wing shape as the sportsplane which may well also be a CANT design.

Another view of same aircraft and event here – placards may help.
