Society Italian of Aviation
The Societe Italiana di Aviazione (SIA) or Society Italian of Aviation was founded in Milan in 1908 to encourage aviation in general and by mechanical means and to make it easier for members to enjoy the sport. It provided a delegate to the Consiglio Generale (CG) of the Societa Aeronautica Italiana (SAI). According to the ca. 1909 bylaws of the SAI CG, the Societe Italiana di Aviazione was the only entity in Italy that had expertise in the specific equipment for aviation and the SAI delegated to it the supervision of races, competitions, exhibitions and demonstrations of equipment in general.
The Society organized a traverse of the Alps from 18-24 Sept. 1910 and an international aerial circuit at Milan from 25 Sept.-2 Oct. 1910. Cesare Mangili was president in 1910, at which time there were some 60 members, including honorary members.
