How were Italian cruiser floatplanes recovered?

Did cruiser scout aircraft land ashore, or could the ship recover them?

They were seaplanes recoverable by crane, but returning them to the bow hangar could require impractical disassembly and manual movement; landing ashore was often the easier option.

A floatplane could alight on the water and be lifted aboard by crane, so recovery did not require a runway ashore. The ship's layout nevertheless made stowage much harder than launch. Accounts discussed here describe the aircraft being broken into components, carried forward, and reassembled in the hangar. The technically possible procedure illustrates how a striking design feature could be operationally cumbersome.
