Overachieving in comparison with the technology available compared to both enemies and allies.

Italy ran into its troubles due to poor leadership, and not so much as the men or machinery.

All jokes aside Silvio is a problem. At least in America the politicians "try" to hide the corruption.

Berlusconi is an idiot (sorry for word) who entered in policy because he wonts to end up in prison. And i hope you in Britain don't think we are all for Berlusconi! we hate he, but he wins all the time! (obviously for false votes)
Again an other excuse for ugly english. If you have understood what i said, you are linguists.

Anyone at his age that can still 'perform' with a much younger female is to be admired

Well-designed and fast ships, but hampered by geography, a lack of radar and a fleet air arm. Lack of fuel also became a problem as your German allies began to hog the shrinking supply.

Apologies for the Taranto incident, but it was necessary

The Italian navy was very underrated, it could have been a lot more of a trouble for the Royal Navy than it was had it been used better.

I think if they had had radar installed on their fleet then Matapan may have gone a different way...

ROLLOCKS!!......the British maxim of 'ENGAGE THE ENEMY AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY' was a tad too daunting and so events proved

Never been caught on camera though

It helped that we had air superiority from our carriers though, well, until the Luftwaffe moved into town of course.
