The S10 (S?) was a special current cutting-edge engine in the Italy of the late 1930's and the 1940's. This was not just laying around.
At this time (in the war) and after having lost the war (twice) Italy was a country where only a powerful AND rich man could have done this intstallation if it wasn't done for the greater glory of Fasicst propaganda or as an intended sales or competition tool. Nobody else could access this engine otherwise untill the economic conditions improved in the mid-late 1950's.
I also await more evidence.
Cheers, Laurence
