Its chassis was from a Willys MB and was capable of carrying various types of mounted weapons, such as a 106mm recoilless anti-tank launcher.

Works Pietro Chiari and Carlo Goldoni, two Venetian writers, were moving away from the old style of Italian theatre, which threatened the work of the Granelleschi Society. In 1757 Gozzi defended ''Commedia dell'arte'' by publishing a satirical poem, ''La tartana degli influssi per l'anno 1756''; and in 1761, in his comedy b ...
