Project history

These Italian cruisers, designed by Chief Eng Edoardo Masdea and originally fitted with a 2-masted fore and aft rig, proved unsuccessful, lacking both protection and speed, but they saw considerable service in difficult conditions.

Ship protection

There was a sloping protective deck.

Modernizations

None.

Naval service

 Umbria in December 1910 was sold to Haiti, renamed Ferrier, and on passage to America foundered because of inexperience of new crew.
