Nice set, never seen the Frecce Tricolori display with wing tanks before, were they transitioning from somewhere else?

Nice selection. That Cessna 180 looks well, used to be based in Ireland.

Thank you everybody At first I posted this thread in the "General Aviation" section because it was a minor, GA-centric airshow, but I see it was the wrong place!
Yes, just before the show they made a pass above the Monza racetrack for the start of the Formula 1 Grand Prix of Italy, loitering nearby the racetrack for at least 30 minutes. Distance from the racetrack to the lake is slightly lower than 100 km. They were redeployed from Rivolto to Ghedi (~50 km from the lake, ~100 km from the racetrack) the day before.
