Italian naval defense and maintenance programs

Overview

The Italian Navy is advancing its maritime capabilities through various maintenance and construction programs involving Fincantieri.

In September 2026, the first maintenance phase for the Nave Foscari was completed at Cantiere Navale Noè in Augusta. This operation served as a milestone for industrial cooperation, marking the first implementation of a framework agreement between Fincantieri and the Naval Armaments Directorate (NAVARM).

By October 2026, new milestones were reached in vessel development. At the Muggiano shipyard, the keel was laid for the Pietro Calvi, the second of four U212 NFS submarines intended to replace the Nazario Sauro-class. Additionally, the Ugolino Vivaldi, the first of a new generation of Multi-Mission Patrol Vessels (PPX), successfully completed its initial sea trials in the Gulf of La Spezia.
