The Ongoing Mystery Aircraft Thread Part Deux.

Hi giruXX, you are right and I am very pretty extremely sure you have the answer :jump:.
Me Tarzan, you Jane will help.
 
... from a country in Europe that is surrounded by water on three sides
The closest I could find is Macchi M17 Idrocorsa but there are several things that do not tally...same applies to some french crafts but again same story.Sorry (ich bin am Ende meines Lateins)
Cheers
Carlo
 
Thank you Carlo for kicking the ball!
You are close to the right corner.

Built for the Schneider Cup in two examples. Both sank before they could compete.
 
Not at all :(

Closer to you, Carlo, than you think: 440km from Arezzo by car (according to google on today's roads).

OK this must be the 1922 Schneider Cup run on Aug.13 in Naples. There were three italian entries: SIAI S51 (I-BAIU) - Macchi M7bis (I-BAFV) - Macchi M17 (I-BAHG). However not one of the three isan exact likeness of the picture you have proposed. BTW the italians didn't win. The British did. Therefore "où est-il le mystère?"
Cheers
