History of AeCi

Costitution

The first body to coordinate aviation activities, the Società Aeronautica Italiana (SAI or Italian Aviation Society) was established in March 1904 in Rome, some five years before the first flight over Italy. The SAI was one of the founding members of the International Federation (Paris, 12 October 1905). The first aviation club (which for a brief period was known as d’Italia) was founded in Padua on 18 February 1910. In 1911, the members of the Club Aviatori (Aviation Club) founded the Aero Club d'Italia, later gaining non profit organisation status by decree no. 1452 of 25/7/1926.

The following year the association changed its name to Reale Aero Club d'Italia (RAeCI or Royal Italian Aero Club), changing again in 1936 to Reale Unione Nazionale Aeronautica (RUNA or Royal National Aviation Association). The first Air Tour of Italy took place in 1930. In March 1950 the Aero Club incorporated the Federazione Italiana del Volo a Vela (FIVV or Italian Gliding Federation), established in Milan in 1946. A law of 29/5/1954 conferred the Body “legal status for the discipline and organisation of activities in the aviation field”. Competition parachuting was incorporated into the Aero Club in October 1963.

Denomination

The current name was defined in 1911 and, after the changing into RAeCI first (in 1927) and then into RUNA (in 1936), it was then resumed after the war (in 1947).
