Pre 1940 Pattuglia Acrobatica

Hello
I always remain a bit confused on the dates and Stormo and Squadriglia of early aviation in Italy. Specifically the beginning of the Acrobatic Teams that led to the Frecce Tricolori of today.
The FIAT CR.32 is my current dilemma; did the 154 Squadriglia of the 4 Stormo assign a number of the CR.32 from its inventory to the acrobatic team?
There are publications and other papers out there delegating the task to the 153 and 150 and the 1 Stormo and 6 Stormo............and then it gets all confusing.
As I am in process in building a collection of the aircrafts that were used by the Squadriglie (matching Stormo) identifying the aircrafts with their call numbers and ID is extremely important for me, and I need the accuracy.
Is there an organization or group that I may contact and credit the reference? or....
is there a trusted web site that I can use to gain accurate information? or.....
an individual I may be able to correspond to?
I appreciate your patience and understanding, look forward to any instructions or advice. Thank you

Though dealing mainly about 4 stormo, this link has a lot of info. Sadly for you it's in Italian. I hope something of your ancestor's language has remained with you. By the day, a pilot of 6 stormo was Corrado Ricci, an ace either in Spain and East Africa. If not, try an automatic translator.

I hope this help.

Stefano, non ti preoccupare che pure se si abita all'estero, l'italiano e sempre vivo a casa mia.
Corrado Ricci, era un cugino di mio padre, al terzo grado; siamo molto conosciuti con la nostra famiglia del nord.
E i link che così gentilmente avete fornito non sono disponibili nel mio paese.
Buona sera.

Tom I made some corrections to the link above, I'm not sure that's the link Stefano had in mind but it does work now. Hopefully Stefano can confirm.
