Interesting-looking aircraft, from the wartime Italian aircraft industry

the speed is credible, given that the climb rate was low.

P.XV was a two-step supercharged radial engine, derived from the P.XII. However, they were too big (1.4m diameter) for use in a single engined aircraft. That is why it made sense to put it centrally in the fuselage.

I wonder about the 20mm cannon though ...

It was equipped with a Piaggio XV RC.60, 1.650 hp, instead of the more performant (but actually not yet operative) Piaggio P.XXII.

AFAIK the Piaggio P.119 was equipped with a Piaggio P.XV RC45, and meant to be re-engined with a RC50, 1,650hp. I don't know how 640-644 km/h are (perhaps with the test flight with an lightened prototype) but it was capable of 620 kmh, and with RC 50 previed capable of 630 kmh. 640 kmh it's so a definitively too high value.
