Italy's three Conte di Cavour class dreadnoughts were delivered in 1914-15 – successors to the nation's first dreadnought-type ship, Dante Alighieri. One would be lost to Austro-Hungarian sabotage at anchor in Taranto harbour during the war.
The class introduced super-firing turrets to the Italian navy, positioning two of the five turrets as twins firing over triples, fore and aft, with another triple amidships.

The ships had a peculiarly tall barbette under the super-firing "B" turret which must have come at great cost to the design in terms of weight.
