Well that did not last long. It is indeed the Curtiss C-76 'Caravan'. Designed to be made out of wood in case of a shortage of metals during WWII. It was underpowered and the project was eventually dropped. It was later estimated the entire C-76 project cost the U.S. government $400 million dollars and several months in lost production time.

Another photograph of the Breda-Zappata BZ.308
Reference my remark
I could not resist it as I recall there is a short scene about mid-way through the film "Roman Holiday", starring Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn, showing the aircraft on the ground at Rome airport.
Reference my remark
I do not think you would need to cross a bridge, however you might if going on holiday to rome.

During WWII the Goeland was built for both the Luftwaffe and for the Vichy Government. by the Caudron-Renault concern and after liberation and the incorporatrion of the Caudron factory at Issy-les-Moulineaux into the S.N.C.A du Nord production of the Goeland was continued. The C.449-1 was powered by two 240 h.p. Renault 6Q20/21 engines a total of 325 post-war aircraft were bulit.
