Re: VVS in Italy in 1944?
The Soviet presence included a squadron of 10 Lend-lease C-47s (not Li-2s).
A thorough article on this force came out in the 1980s in English in a scholarly historical journal that usually does not do much military history (I THINK International Historical Review but I am not sure). If you try a reference database (especially of the type libraries have to pay to get access to) you may find it.
