At least a few times, I was directed to Giuseppe Rizzo's "Buche e Croci cel Deserto. Apoteosi della Divisione CR "Ariete" as for monography of the Division "Ariete". Recently I have found a copy for 120 Euro. Is it worth the money, considering that the book was published in 1969?
What are your...
Great find, Maurizio
I would go for the 202nd at Derna. That is what tells me the Allegato for Diario Storico Militare del Giorno 6/1/41 (USSME N-2/390) of Comando Superiore FF.AA. AS
That is where Schizzo 17 Prima Offensiva Britannica takes its data.

Maurizio,
I know that it is not much but I can locate two platoons of 202nd at Derna on 6 JAN (Scacchiere libico - egiziano. Situazione al 6-1-1941 from CS FF.AA. AS files).
I keep digging

Slavomir
Maurizio,
I agree that the Battle for Derna lasted longer than just on 25 JAN. And yes, I have read the whole WD. And I found that the OOB presented by Annex A to Op Inst No 7 from 25 JAN (which I inserted just as an example), was valid until 30 JAN when 2/8 Fld Coy returned under the control of...
Don't have the files listed, but in my notes, I marked Roll 36 as "seen", but no copies. Apparently, nothing interesting, for me at least. Maybe something from 1942 - 1943? Cannot recall...

You are right, that how this portion was called:
Unfortunately, I don't have the full roll. I was going one by one through those that looked interesting to me.
The other doc from that roll that I was going through are: Formazioni ed Organici di Guerra for CCNN from April 1940.
Maurizio,
Unless the file were put there by mistake by someone in Ufficio Ordinamento e Mobilitazione, I would argue that it is AS40 as I have taken it from May 1940 document:
Maurizio and Jeff,
The files come from NARA (T-821, Roll 35). It covers different types of units designed for service in the A.S., including artillery.
Yes, you are right. Here is the summary for the artillery regiment:
Antonio and Andrea Tallillo. Authors of "Carro L6. Carri leggeri, semoventi, derivati", "Carro L3. Carri veloci, carri leggeri, derivati" to name a few.
Regards
Just doing a quick check in my AS files, I can tell that according to "Formozioni Provissorie di Guerra di alcune unita metropolitane per l'A.S." issued May 1940 it is three batteries in gruppo.
