CV.3 light tank prototype.
Prototype made by Rossini between 1932 and 1935 with the aim to overcome the limits of firepower and suspension of the CV.3 / 33. The addition of a turret offered more field of action to the first. Although offering improvements over the CV-3/33, this small tank never made it past the prototype stage.
