However, by the 1930s much of Italy’s mountain artillery was obsolescent and overdue for replacement. In 1934, the Italian firm of Ansaldo produced a new mountain howitzer design, the Obice da 75/18 modello 34, ontworpen door luitenant-kolonel Sergio Berlese die diende bij de Italiaanse artillerie. De Modello 34 kon worden opgesplitst in acht ladingen voor transport. In het belang van standaardisatie en logistiek werd een versie van de 75/18, de modello 35, ook gebruikt als de lichte houwitsercomponent van normale veldbatterijen.

The Obice da 75/18 modello 35 was a 75 mm howitzer designed and manufactured by the Italian company Ansaldo in the interwar period. It was a modified version of the Obice da 75/18 modello 34, a mountain gun used by the Italian alpine troops. The modello 35 had a split trail instead of a box trail, and could not be broken down into smaller loads for transport. It was intended to be the standard light howitzer for the Italian infantry divisions in World War II.
The Obice da 75/18 modello 35 had a barrel length of 1.557 m and a maximum range of 9,564 m. It fired a 6.4 kg high-explosive shell with a muzzle velocity of 425 m/s.
