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.
