List of ships of the line of Italy
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
This is a list of Italian carracks, galleons and ships of the line of the period 1400-1858:
Italy was formed in 1861 with the union of several states, including the Two Sicilies (with Naples), and Piedmont-Sardinia, including Genoa. Later some Papal states (Tuscany) and Venice joined. Several of these states had their own naval forces. An * after a name indicates that that ship survived until 1861 and was incorporated into the Regia Marina.
