It is a titanic work of the early years of the '900, conducted among a thousand difficulties and sacrifices, which redefined the trade routes and not the marinas of the entire globe.
Although so far from our borders, there were numerous occasions when naval ships rowed it for the most varied types of mission.
Among these we remember the campaign of circumnavigation of the world made by the cruisers, of the VII Naval Division, Emanuele Filiberto Duca d'Aosta and Eugenio di Savoia, in the 1938.
The units set sail from Naples on November 5 for an itinerary that was repeatedly modified for logistical and political complications. The second part of the campaign (which should have started right from Panama) was canceled due to the growing political tensions that culminated in the Second World War, and the units from Panama returned home.
