Notes | The 75/32 was supposed to replace the aging Modello 06 and 11 as the standard light field gun. It was designed for motorised traction and had a high velocity and wide traverse which made it a useful anti-tank weapon. They were never enough produced to replace either of its predecessors and it served alongside the Modello 06 and 11 in field regiments. |
