Thanks Wijgert, the list looks better and better. Especially the Greek Super Puma would be nice! Thanks for the hints on other pages with participants lists. By the way, just found the italianvipers forum last wednesday: very handy as it provided me with the serial of a Brazilian Hercules that I saw at Verona tuesday 6/5.
new update published (see the last of the links given by Wijgert in his post). Added among others:
-Austrian PC-7 on static
-Hungarian Mi-24 flying display
As can be read on Italianvipers.com in a press release by the Ufficio Pubblica Informazione of the Aeronautica Militare, there will be a 40min. tactical demo during the airshow (hmmmm....where have I seen that before? ). It will consist of the following:

Flying/visit
1x AB.212 Polizia (PS-93?, dep around 09:00)
1x AB.412 Ragr. Carabinieri (CC-28?, dep. around 11am ish)
This one was actually read of as CC-29, but to our surprise this one was parked only 20ft away from us at that time!!
Air power demo
1x EF2000 9 Gr
Preserved
1x PD.808 ex 71 Gr (near the officers club)
AB.212 AMI query
I noted two examples in the 15 Stormo hangar as MM81157 & MM81159 (670 SC mks) and MM81161 on the apron in front of it.
However, I'm not completely sure whether the MM81159 is correct since also MM81190 also has 670 SC mks and that one was noted here the day before. I forgot to write them down and had to remember them for a couple of hrs, hence the question mark.
To make it even more complex, we noted MM81161 taking off around 17:30ish chasing the Pope SH-3D to the East. A few minutes later a second 212 (MM81157, photoproof)took off from the flightline behind the HH-3 tents. Again a few minutes later we saw three 212's on the apron in front of the 15 Stormo hangar! One being the Tiger example, but leaving us dazzled with the other two. One could be the remaing one from the hangar (MM81159 or MM81190), but which one could have been the other one? Or did both MM81159 and MM81190 reside here?
Feel free to use elsewhere, but pls use the credit.
Thanks!
Best rgds,
