Raimondo Montecuccoli

Raimondo Montecuccoli

In the first 1930's, the defects of Condottieri forced the Italian Navy to rework the class. The new class Montecuccoli was bigger and better protected, giving a more stable structure. The Montecuccoli gave a good service in the war. Attendolo was bombed in Napoli harbor by an American air strike and never repaired due to lack of time and resources.
