Hi,
Fidia Piattelli was an italian engineer, born in 1907, most famous for his role as vice-director of Caproni's Technical Office, but he also worked at CMASA (FIAT), at General Aircraft (in the UK) and was lieutenant of the Genio Aeronautico.
He wrote for many magazines like "Rivista Aeronautica", "L'Aquilone" and "The Aeromodeller"; he was commisar of the italian Aero Club, and he designed a lot of planes and aircraft models, some of which i present to you here.

Attached is a list of some of his models that i found, with names and some specs, and with the source. They shouldn't be too hard to find!

Nice find dear Mark,

From which source ?.
the list is from a number of "Notiziario di S.A.M. 2001" that i found online iirc.
the A.P.12 is from L'Aquilone, same for the drawing of the A.P.13, while the technical drawing of the A.P.13 is from "La scintilla negli occhi", a small article about Fidia Piattelli on the Reggiane website
