The Italian military and organizational structure outlined the main wishes for the future tank: decent armour angles, cast tower and gun mask. and the powerful engine that would resulting in the creation of a small, light, mobile, but well-protected vehicle. The design took into account British and Soviet designs but never passed the design stage.
