I had GPT summarize the article. Also had it check out the guy claiming things, I'll post that separately.

Italian researcher Roberto Pinotti shared evidence files of a UFO crash in Northern Italy, allegedly occurred on June 13, 1933, 14 years before the famous Roswell incident.
The files were sent to Pinotti by a mystery source who claimed to have inherited them from a relative who worked on Mussolini's supposed UFO program.
David Grusch, a former National Reconnaissance Office staffer, has also made similar claims about the 1933 UFO crash.
The evidence includes handwritten memos on paper with a government agency letterhead dated August 22, 1936, which include a sketch and description of a cylindrical aircraft with portholes on the sides and white and red lights spotted flying over Northern Italy.
Other documents refer to a mysterious government department called 'Gabinetto RS/33', supposedly set up by Mussolini to manage the retrieval and study of the alleged saucer wreckage.
Pinotti's claims have been met with skepticism, with some pointing out that the documents bear no protocol numbers or official stamps that would help verify them as real government documents.
Pinotti had one of his documents, dated 1936, tested by a forensic expert who concluded the paper and ink was from that period.
British historian Graeme Rendall believes the evidence is inconclusive and calls for an independent examination of the original documents.
Marco Negri, a resident of Northern Italy, reported family stories of a strange metallic aircraft without wings that crashed in Magenta in the 1930s.
The Republic of San Marino is currently working with Pinotti and fellow CUN executive Paolo Guizzardi to lobby the United Nations to set up its own UFO investigations office.
