Nino Bixio — Italy Tech Tree Tier II Cruiser.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the idea of a fast scout cruiser was popular in many countries. The first ship of that kind in the Italian Navy was armored cruiser Quarto. This was followed by the Nino Bixio class—they were larger than their predecessor and had more convenient artillery arrangement. During World War I, the lead ship of the series participated in the interception of Austro-Hungarian raiders and in the defense of the Entente transports. Nino Bixio served in the Navy until the end of the 1920s.
