• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

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
