Check here (his name was Raffaele): http://www.asso4stormo.it/link21.htm

No data available.

These names are clearly wrong, not being Italian ones...

I haven't many details of his career in the Regia Aeronautica, only a glimpse of 1941, when he served with 86^ Squadriglia (7° Gruppo, 54° Stormo) and then - from March 1941 - onwards, with 353^ Squadriglia (20° Gruppo, 51° Stormo) in North Africa.
On 1944 he became a member of the 2° Gruppo Caccia ANR with the rank of Maresciallo and operated in 3^ Squadriglia. During the last months of war (in 1945) he trained several young officers with the Bf 109 G-12 of the unit. He died in 1961 during an aeronautical race around Italy (passion for flight never left him) for a flying accident.

Hope this helps
