The Aviamilano P.19 Scricciolo (Italian: "Wren") was a light civil trainer aircraft built in Italy in the 1960s. It was the winner of a competition by Aero Club d'Italia for such an aircraft, and two batches of twenty-five were produced. 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 were made of wood. After 1964, a few were fitted with 112 kW (150 hp) Lycoming O-320 engines for use as glider tugs and designated P.19R
