The Italian Army was among the first armies to use armoured cars, as early as 1912. With the FIAT Arsenal, it held armoured cars in high regard for their role as long-range reconnaissance vehicles for armoured divisions and as support for infantry actions. After the glorious FIAT 611 and the Lancia 1ZM, the Italian Army needed a new machine suited to the times. Thus was born the Fiat-Ansaldo armoured car series ready for the Second World War, used in particular in reconnaissance units: it saw extensive use during the North African campaign and, in general, appeared in almost all theatres of war in which Italy fought. It was mainly supplied in the three versions AB40, AB41 and AB43, which were gradually improved especially in their offensive equipment.

L'Esercito Italiano fu tra i primi eserciti ad utilizzare autoblindo, già nel 1912. Con l'Arsenale FIAT, teneva in grande considerazione le autoblindo per il loro ruolo di veicoli da ricognizione a lungo raggio per le divisioni corazzate e di supporto alle azioni di fanteria. Dopo le gloriose macchine FIAT 611 e la Lancia 1ZM, l'Esercito Italiano necessitava di una nuova macchina adatta ai tempi. Nacque così la serie delle autoblindo Fiat-Ansaldo pronta per la Seconda guerra mondiale, utilizzata in particolare nei reparti da ricognizione: vide uso esteso durante la campagna del Nordafrica e, in generale, apparve in quasi tutti i teatri bellici nei quali combatté l'Italia. Fu fornita soprattutto nelle tre versioni AB40, AB41 ed AB43, via via migliorate soprattutto nella dotazione offensiva.

The first Italian armoured cars were used in the war in Libya in 1911-12 against the Ottoman Empire. With few tanks being developed, the Italians relied instead on the development of more mobile armoured cars like the Ansaldo Lancia 1 Z, during World War I, but post-war the army, focusing on the Alpine battlegrounds of Italy's northern borders, did not consider armoured cars suitable for reconnaissance duties. The experience of the Spanish Civil War would provide the much needed last push for the Italians to develop modern armoured cars. The result were the famous AB 41-43 models, which fought against the British in North Africa and Marshall Tito's forces in Yugoslavia, along with other vehicles such as the AS 36 light armoured car. Using detailed colour plates and contemporary photographs, this book examines the development of the Italian armoured car in the two world wars and the inter-war years, from the deserts of North Africa to the slopes of the Alps.

The Italian army, unlike those of the British and French, did not use tanks in combat during World War I and, by November 1918, only one training unit equipped with French Schneider and Renault tanks had been formed. Consequently, during the 1920s the Italian army had just one single tank type in its armoured inventory – the Fiat 3000. Only in 1927 was the first tank unit formed as a branch of the infantry and not as an independent organization, while the cavalry rejected the idea of both tanks and armoured cars and decided to stand by the use of horses for its mounted units. Between 1933 and March 1939, a further 2,724 CV 33 / L 3 tanks were built, 1,216 of which were exported all over the world. By the time Italy entered the war in June 1940, the army had 1,284 light tanks, 855 of which were in combat units, including three armoured divisions. Variants of the CV 33 / L 3 tanks included flame-throwers, bridge-layers, recovery vehicles, and a radio command tank. Some L 3 tanks were still in use in 1945, by both the Germans and the German-allied Italian units of the Repubblica Sociale.
