76 ItK Breda Modelo 1916/1935
An Italian naval and coastal cannon from 1916, modified for anti-aircraft use in 1935. During the Winter War, Italy donated 12 of these cannons to Finland. During the final weeks of the Winter War, two three-gun batteries were being set up in Helsinki (Degerö, Myllykallio) and Tampere. However, the war ended before the cannons saw real action. The cannons were phased out by 1966.
