The Scicciolo was designed at the Centro Volo a Vela del Politecnico di Milano to compete in a competition arranged by the Aero Club d'Italia for a light civil trainer. The aircraft was evaluated by the Milan Aero Club. The CVV P.19 emerged victorious and two batches of twenty-five were produced at the Aviomilano factory.
The Scricciolo was a low-wing monoplane with tailwheel undercarriage (although some were fitted with tricycle gear and designated P.19Tr). The pilot and instructor sat side by side under a large bubble canopy. The fuselage was of fabric-covered steel tube construction while the wings and tail surfaces were made of wood with plywood covering.[1]
After 1964, a few examples were fitted with 112 kW (150 hp) Lycoming O-320 engines for use as glider tugs and designated P.19R
