Obice da 75/18 modello 34

howitzer / infantry support gun

A light, air-portable mountain howitzer designed for Italy's Alpine and colonial divisions, the 75/18 found its most famous role not as towed artillery but as the main armament of the Semovente da 75/18 self-propelled gun, one of Italy's most effective armoured vehicles of the war.
