Experiences with torpedoes by Regia Aeronautica were initially made with SM.81 bombers, then with SM.79, that were used operationally from 1940, but there was no operational torpedo unit in Italy during the SCW period (let alone equipped of Cant Z.506).
About the few operational missions of Cant Z.506 as a Bomber, I am well aware of those, because during one of these missions against Bizerte died a cousin of my father in law, he was a gunner onboard a Cant Z.506B that fell in the sea shortly after it had left Sicily.

Oh well, better a non-torp Cantz 506b, than no Cantz 506b.
Too bad we didn't get the He-115
