Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Obice da 75/18 modello 34 was an Italian artillery piece used during World War II.Much of Italy is mountainous, so the Italian army has always had an interest in mountain artillery. In the 1930s much of Italy's mountain artillery was obsolescent and overdue for replacement.In 1934, the Italian firm of Ansaldo produced a new mountain howitzer design, the Obice da 75/18 modello 34, which could be broken down into eight loads for transport. In the interest of standardization and logistics the 75/18 modello 34 was also used as the light howitzer component of normal field batteries. The Obice da 75/18 modello 34 was designed by an Italian artillery Lt. Colonel named Sergio Berlese.
