It is the "Fabrica Torinese Velivoli Chiribiri". It operated between 1910 and 1929.
-An inline 4-cylinder, water-cooled, 50 hp Chiribiri engine, was fitted on the A. Chiribiri nr 5, in 1912.

-In addition to the 1912 4-cylinder and 50 CV, new engines of this brand have emerged:
-In 1910, they already made a horizontally-opposed, 2-cylinder, air-cooled engine that gave 25 CV.
-In 1911, they made a water-cooled, four-cylinder, inline engine, that delivered 35/40 CV.
-In the prolific 1912, besides the 50 CV engine they also made a 60 CV, air-cooled, eight-cylinder engine.
-In 1912 they also made an 80 CV, 8-cylinder double row (V?) engine.
-Also in 1912, the water-cooled, 80/100 CV with 4 inline cylinders, used on airships.
-Finally, in 1915, they produced the "J-1" engine that delivered 120 CV at 1,200 rpm, which was the 9-cylinder Le Rhone rotary engine built under license .
From Appendix 9: From 1912, we have a dim photograph of this engine in a static test stand, as it appeared in the "Storia dell'aviazione" the same year.
-It is shown as an adapted 50 CV, four-cylinder, car engine.
"El Chiribiri con hélice"
-There were 25, 40, 50 and 100 CV engines.
From Appendix 10: New discovery of a 16-cylinder radial engine built by this automobile brand.
