Condottieri-Class Light Cruiser

Condottieri is the collective name applied to successive groups of Italian light cruisers built between the world wars. The designs evolved from very fast, lightly protected early ships toward better-balanced later vessels. Their careers in the Second World War differed considerably, and the broad name does not describe one identical class. Understanding the particular group is important when discussing armor, armament, speed, and survival, rather than assigning the same specifications to every Italian Condottieri cruiser.

The collective Condottieri label covers several successive groups rather than one uniform ship design. Early ships emphasized high speed and sacrificed protection, while later groups incorporated substantial improvements in balance, seakeeping, and survivability.
