The Cannone da 149/40, developed by Ansaldo, was the primary armament of the heavy artillery of the Regio Esercito. It was used from the 1930s until the end of World War II (c. 1935–1945), both during the African campaigns and in battles on European soil – especially in the defense of the Italian Peninsula against the Allies.
