The Ricci 6 was a small triplane designed by Umberto and Ettore Ricci. It flew for the first time in 1918 in Bagnoli piloted by B. Albertazzi. It was simple and robust; it had a wingspan of just 3.50 m when it was first presented in 1920 at the Paris motor show. During the demonstration for the anniversary of the 1920 victory, he took off from the Pincio in Rome, throwing leaflets over the city. A second R 6 with Anzani engine was built with a 6-cylinder engine from the Bacini e Scali Company in Naples. Completing military tests, the R6 was delivered to the Air Force receiving the MM167 serial number.
A replica, made with original pieces of the first example in 1967, is exhibited at the Leonardo da Vinci National Museum of Science and Technology in the aeronaval pavilion.
