History
It first flew on 22 October 1924. It was designed by Piero Magni and powered by a 50 hp Anzani six-cylinder radial.
Variants
At least two were built. The second, the Vittoria 1925-A, differed from the 1924 model in details only.
Where you'll see it
It was a single-seat sports aircraft. Its large aerofoil on each wing strut could be rotated together or independently to give lift or drag.
