Yes it did, with 50th Stormo. At least through Operation Compass anyways. Problem was it was an older design. And its replacement, the Ba. 88 was shall we say not up to the task, so the Ba. 65 had stay past its time. Seems like they were in North Africa from June 1940 until February 1941.
Have a look at: A History of the Mediterranean Air War 1940 - 1945 Vol. 1
Also, have a look here:

that is the Italian Air Force museum. They have an actual Ro. 37 and A Cr-32(well the Spanish Version) on display. So who wants to take cockpit pictures? lol
