Yes, the Savoia marchetti 80 is a beauty. Actually, according to Italian Wikipedia, it is an S 80 bis - the original was single engined I think:

I like the undercarriage retraction mechanism - very simple, but elegant.

The Italians made some amazingly beautiful sea-planes in the 1930'ies. Some of them are easily contenders in the "best looking plane" competition.

Same goes for the cars - now, I they just weren't assembled in Italy... ;)

There was a S.55 that was used in civil role here called Jahú.

I guess another of this plane was used during the 1932 Revolution.
BTW,was it still used in WWII or I am wrong?

Italy had some quite interesting airplanes in the 20s,30s and in 40s.
One of them,was the Ca.60,a house with wings:
