An engineer named Tebaldi designed the Tebaldi-Zari, which was a single-seat wooden sesquiplane with heavily staggered wings and a 142 kW (190 hp) Isotta Fraschini V.6, water-cooled 6-cylinder in-line engine, driving a two-bladed tractor propeller.

Breda re-engined the prototype with a 224 kW (300 hp) Hispano-Suiza HS-42 V-8 water-cooled engine.

[1] Thus modified, the original Tebaldi-Zari prototype was entered in the Italian 1923 fighter contest.

The Regia Aeronautica (Italian Royal Air Force) took no interest in a production order, and no further aircraft were built.
