The airport operated military and commercial flights until 1961 when the new Trapani Birgi Airport was opened. It was definitely abandoned in 1971 by the Italian army and closed. Today of the airport remain only the runway, the control tower and few smaller buildings. The name The Italians called the airport Trapani Chinisia from the nearby river Chinisia but the allies used on their plans the name of the nearby village of Borgo Rizzo that in a second time was abbreviated on the documents as Borizzo .

His activity has not been limited to the design, becoming also an entrepreneur, establishing a firm initially dealing with the manufacture under license of Glider sailplane gliders , and then taking charge of the audit of aircraft for the Regia Aeronautica . He designed the Vittoria 1924 sport plane. ref http www.flightglobal.com pdfarchive view 1925 1925 20 200566.html?tracked 1 ref He succeeded also in manufacturing some of his designed aircraft characterized by his designed innovative features. On that sphere he experimented the most important one, a patent of a particular cowling to be applied on a radial engine , that allowed to remarkably increase the aircraft aerodynamics penetration and allowing at the same time an efficient system of temperature regulation of the aircraft itself. This project, known as Anello Magni , has been further developed by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics , becoming known as NACA cowling Also his activity in the publishing sector are worth mentioning, either as writer of technical books, either as director of L Aeronautica , supplement of the fortnightly magazine of the fascist aviation L Ala d Italia .

The center was attached to the it Aeronautica Militare Target ITAF High Altitude Unit, with two branches at Turin University, Faculty of Medicine , Institute for Human Pathology, and at the Milan Catholic University s Laboratory of Experimental Psychology, with the aim of investigating the effects of high altitude, acceleration and depressurisation on the human body and psyche. At Guidonia the Center took over, and improved, many facilities pertaining to the Italian Forensic Institute in Montecelio, that had been working since the 30 s. The Center devoted itself to the training of pilots on very high altitude missions. Extremely complex equipment would test and verify the capability of pilots assigned to such highly demanding tasks, to test heart and ventilation condition under specific operating stress parameters. There were anechoic chambers, machines to monitor a pilot breathing the same air over and over until hypoxia emerged, and a special tank to expose pilots to decompression and extremely low temperatures, built by ITAF technicians as far back as 1920. In the simulation of high altitude conditions, pilots were constantly monitored and diagnosed to control reactions hypoxia, cramps, lack of concentration, sight problems, drowsiness or euphoria symptoms, mistakes in elementary calculating and writing operations, loss of consciousness. This research activity led in 1937 to the high altitude record 15,655 mt in a piston engined aircraft attained by Lt.Col. Mario Pezzi . In the attempt, he wore a pressurized suit anticipating a number of features of the ones used by today s astronauts. In a second attempt, a year later, Pezzi reached an altitude of 17,083 mt in a pressurized, heated capsule very similar to modern space capsules.
