The Italians didn't like the closed canopy and thought it was restrictive and dangerous. The Mc.200 also had a closed canopy in its initial form. You can also see why "thoroughbreds" (they had a great racing lineage like the Spitfire) like the Mc.200 and G.50 have that horrible hump, spoiling the lines and aerodynamics in order to give pilots the visibility they wanted.
