This potential would be military rather than civil, and Caproni encourage Pallavicion to evolve this more potent type in parallel with the Ca.309.
The result was the Ca.310 Libeccio that first flew in prototype form in 4/37 with an airframe that was little modified from that of the Ca.309 except for some local strengthening.
Hungary was also unhappy with its Ca.310s and in 1940 the surviving 33 machines were returned to Italy where they were refurbished by Caproni and reissued to the 50th Stormo d’Assalto as temporary replacements for the groups unsatisfactory Breda Ba.65 attack aircraft.

The Capronis were modified to long-range (”strategic”) reconnaissance aircraft (S 16) and transferred to the reconnaissance Wing F 11 at Nyköping.

Gregory Alegi wrote in with information that the CaproniCa 100 held by the Italian Air Force Museum has been taken out of storage and that restoration of it has begun.
The wing was a reconaissance wing which flew Junkers Ju 86, CaproniCA313, Fi 156 and some other interesting aircraft (e.g Spitfire Mk Unfortunately the museum doesn't have any preserved axis aircraft types, though they do have some relics.
Photos have been added of a Isotta Fraschini Delta RC35 engine of a CA313, a starter engine from the same aircraft and also two sets of mainwheels.
