Both planes survived the Great War.
The sn.16553 of Locatelli has been restored and exhibited in Turin.
The sn.16552 of Palli is being restored in Trento at the Caproni Museum.

The artwork of the original planes are amazing, but... YOUR artwork, Matt, is absolutely stunning! Congrats for this and I'm here, watching this building...
