I am wondering if I could use a 10spd Campy crankset with a Potenza group?

I’ve seen a few threads about using 11 cranks on 10 drivetrain but not the opposite. I’m sure it’s been discussed!

I have. Everything seems to shift fine on the Holland with 10s rings and cranks.

another yes from me, did it and worked great. Also have used 11 speed rings with 10 speed group with similar success.

No issue...just make sure the initial inner adjustment of the front der is not excessive and the cable is TIGHT..it'll be fine. When making the cable tight..I adjust the front der so the inner cage just touches the chain when chain on lowest gear(biggest cog)..THEN pull cable tight, secure bolt, then turn the inner adjust screw OUT a wee bit..makes the cable tight..

Otherwise with the 'positional' type LH shifter, you 'may' get some chain to front der rub at extremes(either highest or lowest gear)...
