RR, I am puzzled. There are plenty of references to the Caproni CC7 and all show the same the 3-view as you have. I can't see any reference to it being "a dream". Certainly a project though. Whereas I know the sources on the web are not always 100% reliable, there seems to be enough information to support that it was at least a genuine project. Am I missing something somewhere?

Astra Ville de Nancy
No, It's not Nancy. the challenge is "double-biplane", this is "triplane"
Maybe Ville de Paris....

OK, my last bid: Astra Ville de Bruxelles. It seems to have had "extra" engines, too, but there is a picture without them, and two "biplanes"

Twin-engine pusher high wing monoplane flying boat, not open (?) two seats, cannot figure out how the tail looks out.
- biplane
- open
- not sure whether 1 or 2 seats
Closing down for the night now, so will catch you in the morning.
Night night.
