By starting from the root servers and following the delegation (NS) records.
Querying c.root-servers.net for 132.216.in-addr.arpa. (the parent zone for
your block) yields:

132.216.in-addr.arpa. 518400 NS auth1.ns.eni.net.
132.216.in-addr.arpa. 518400 NS auth2.ns.eni.net.
132.216.in-addr.arpa. 518400 NS auth3.ns.eni.net.

Now, querying auth1.ns.eni.net for 253.132.216.in-addr.arpa. (the zone we're
interested in) gets us:

253.132.216.in-addr.arpa. 14400 NS auth1.ns.eni.net.
253.132.216.in-addr.arpa. 14400 NS auth2.ns.eni.net.
253.132.216.in-addr.arpa. 14400 NS auth3.ns.eni.net.

So your delegation checks out.
