Gino Cecchini was an Italian astronomer from Turin involved in early UFO research during the Fascist era. He served as a member of the secret Gabinetto RS/33, established by Benito Mussolini in 1933 following a reported UFO crash in Lombardy, Italy. Headed nominally by Guglielmo Marconi, Cecchini often represented him in the commission, which included scientists like Senator Luigi Cozza and aeronautical engineers to study the recovered craft and related sightings from 1931 near Venice and 1933-1940. The group analyzed phenomena amid numerous Italian UFO reports, with documents authenticated by forensic expert Antonio Garavaglia as genuine Fascist-era materials released via researchers Roberto Pinotti and Alfredo Lissoni. No birth/death dates or personal publications are documented; his role highlights pre-WWII government UFO inquiry.
