The beginning of the dreadnought race was ignored by Italy due to the high cost of ships of the new class and the commissioning of pre-dreadnought battleships. The project for the first dreadnought began only in 1908. It was the first time triple main battery turrets were used, and anti-mine guns were mounted in the turrets. Built according to this project, Dante Alighieri embarked on as many as four naval missions in World War I as the flagship of the Italian fleet.
