Bisonte C45 historical reference
In Italy, alongside the production and modernization of American vehicles, there was a considerable discussion around the development of the ideal tank for the future. During that discussion, Colonel Mario Zini proposed a project for a heavy tank with a low silhouette that was easy to maintain. However, no prototypes were built.
