Stig is 100% correct.

No S.79's operated over the British Isles.

The Corpo Aereo Italiano was composed of Fiat G.50 and Cr.42 fighters, Fiat Br.20 bombers and Cant Z1007 bis bomber/reconaissance aircraft. Some Caproni 133's accompanied the unit as transport and squadron hacks.

Good summary here:
