Please don't trust too much on Wikipedia !
According to my sources (Ali D'Italia n.5), Cant Z.506 was used in Spain only for reconnaissance and SAR missions.
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.
