Sorry, but no.
When production of its Ba.65 and 88 designs was cut back and then cancelled due to mediocre performance, Breda built Macchis under licence - indeed, more Macchis than Macchi itself. Reggiane licences were mooted, but did not materialize, and it was eventually decided that Breda should build Cant Z.1018 twins and then shift to the BZ.300 family. Nothing of this ever happened, especially the Fiat BR.20.
