  In this paper, we investigate quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds Y embedded in
Fano varieties X which are products of two del Pezzo surfaces - with respect to
groups G that act freely on Y. In particular, we revisit some known examples
and we obtain some new Calabi-Yau varieties with small Hodge numbers. The
groups G are subgroups of the automorphism group of X, which is described in
terms of the automorphism group of the two del Pezzo surfaces.
