Is the Caproni Campini CC-2, the second prototype, exposed at the Vigna di Valle museum. Not difficult to find.

It is an interesting pic - never really figured out whats going on. Maintenance perhaps?
I would say that would be most likely, especially when you look at the plane in the background getting worked on.

Yep - a crane of that size on the coast seems like random overkill 
Oh I realise now...to hoist the planes from water to land...Ignore me

I think nothing too big, only the usual manteinance work to do on the engines, after taken the aircrafts out of the water. But it's difficult to say.
The the plane in the background is hung to the crane, so it is probably taxying in or out of the water, or is necessary to change the floats.

what was that twin engined floatplane called?
Dogwalker
Senior Airman
It's a Fiat RS-14, it first flew in 1938, and was developed as a replacement for Z-501 in the recognition, transport and antisom duties, 152 built.
Note the ventral pod, that could be removed and replaced for different missions.
an interesting variant could have been the Fiat AS 14, attack airplane equipped with a 45mm cannon, seven 12.7mm guns and two 7.7mm guns, but only the prototype flew.

What was the ventral pod for? Carrying extra fuel or ordinance?
