Very nice, looking forward to Part 2!
The Littorios were beautifully crafted ships. They and the Scharnhorst stand out for their aesthetic designs.
Its nice to see Regia Marina content in English! Thank you very much! :)
The Littorio class sisters are very beautiful battleships, and I personally love playing Roma in World of Warship, those insane penetration of her Ansaldo 15 inch guns are very addictive to play with (despite their tendency to troll with awful dispersion). Looking forward for part 2.

I'm Italian and I love playing Roma too, it's a very good flanker......but overpens on cruisers broadside are too frequent and quite bothersome.

@@riccardosorrenti604 Happy to see a fellow Roma enjoyer. I didn't play her as much nowdays, but its good to take her out for a spin. I have the old Kobayashi (beer can) which makes her print credits. Have you heard of Azur Lane? Roma is there too and she's a proper signorina.
My compliments on your decision to produce these segments in both English & Italian !! Your command of English should be recognized, which is why I write. For everyone knows it is one thing to say simple English sentences like, "my name is Craig, what's happening or would you bring home some milk ?"..... It is entirely different to discuss technical matters of this sort, no doubt. A heartfelt thank you for your determination to do this type of production & to share your knowledge to the English speaking world as well. Now, could you do me another favor ? Please transport me back to 1962 & introduce me to Sophia Loren ? I'll take it from there, my friend !!!.... 🚬😎
Huge fan of the Regia Marina... and thank you for making this video in English, cant wait to see part 2

Thanks! Keeping the dual language is very important to me
Thank you for this video.
As a Navy gunnersmate veteran, one thing I've admired is how far ahead of other navies the Italians were when it came to gun mount layouts. They were very modern with their secondaries being mounted in rotating mounts along the wings. They're forward profile while firing a broadside is impressive to look at. As an artist I'm really loving their designs. Their triplex composite armor is pretty cool to learn about. Thank you very much for your work. Growing up, there was not very much information about the navies of other nations involved in WWII. Beautiful ships.

Giulio A very good introduction to the Littorio,s. Not only were they good looking ships but they could also be very effective. A big draw back was the lack of radar at the beginning of WW2. We are also lucky in that there are now many books both in Italian and English relating to the class. Looking forward to part 2. Bob
I'm gonna say the obvious: beautiful ships!
Bravo Giulio , ottimo lavoro come sempre
Fascinating. Thank you
Excellent overview of my favourite battleships of the Second World War - fast, elegant and deadly. Wonderful stuff.

Very interesting to see that italian video got more views than English one. Good one of course.
Possibly the most badly underestimated battleships of WWII.

Good looking cars. Good looking women. Good looking ships. And great food!
I never heard of any Italian radar before, so they did it but it was ineffective until mid 1943?

They received some german built equipment already in 1942 while the Italian made ones were available only in 1943. The only ship equipment with Radar that saw combat was the light cruiser Scipione Africano in July 1943
