Bergonzi, Pier Carlo
In addition to Ardea, the Italian had several pre-war projects. The first was a certain airplane Bergonzi-Vigano "Vi-Ber" about which nothing is particularly known. In the same 1912, an all-metal sports double monocoque took off according to the “duck” Tonini-Bergonzi-Negri “Italia I” scheme with the Gnome-Rhone 50CV engine. The plane was too heavy for such a motor, and besides, it was destroyed during the tests by Tonini who did not have the right to pilot it - Bergonzi should fly on it.
