The G46 was used in Italian Air force as an advanced training in the flight schools and in the Academy, as well as at the air war school, since 1949 till 1956, but it remained in service with the Air force also in the following years.

 

Since 1958 the Italian Air force started to yield the G46 for the Italian Aero Clubs. This gave the aircraft a second life. The aircraft was soon discovered and loved ny many pilots that could fly a small fighter and it was soon called "gigetto". Here I-AEHD of Aero Club of Padova in flight over Veneto.
