h4. History
In real life, she was the lead ship of what was the last evolution in the so-called Condottieri-class, a collective group of 12 light cruisers across five classes that Italy developed in the interwar period. Originally designed to counter the first French large destroyers, by the time [i]Luigi di Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi[/i] was laid down in 1933, the emphasis had shifted to general-purpose combat and thus carried thicker armor and more main guns than the earlier ships.

Commissioned in 1937, she was paired with her sister [[Giuseppe Garibaldi (Azur Lane)|]] as Cruiser Division 9 and participated in the naval battles of Calabria and Cape Matapan before a torpedo hit in November 1941, coupled with fuel shortages, put her out of action until the Armistice. Afterward, she served as a patrol ship in the Atlantic against German submarines.

The pair continued service in the post-war Italian Navy but was not afforded a modernization program unlike her sister. This paved the way to her decommissioning in 1961.
