Small But Mighty: Carro Veloce

From the creator

Say "Buongiorno" to Carro Veloce! Entering service in the mid-1930s and still turning up around the world today, this pocket-sized fighter has a habit of appearing where you least expect it.    Weighing in at a mere three tonnes, it’s one of the smallest vehicles in The Tank Museum's collection. Yet, despite it's size, it's also one of the most widely travelled vehicles of the last century. So how did this tankette become such a massive icon? What made the Carro Veloce stand out from the rest of the Axis powers' armoured vehicles, and why has it continued to capture people's imaginations for nearly one hundred years.
