Mikael -
Some 5-6 years ago there was an attempt to set up a museum in Pisa, sponsored by a number of local bodies under the label of "Consorzio Pisa Ricerche" and also comprising the university. I even wrote a concept/proposal for them, but eventually the project collapsed and most of the aircraft were disposed of or returned to their owners. The S.79 fuselage frame was returned to the Air Force but went back into storage. I doubt any work was actually performed on it.
As to the Cuatro Vientos museum being interested, what can I say but that we would all be very happy to see a third S.79 on display in one of the world's great air museums?
