This M15/42 came from Alice Castello at Vercelli and has had the hull machinegun and turret main gun removed (source: M. Foti). When emplaced the two Breda 38 machine guns were moved to the turret mantlet in place of the Breda 47/40 gun and a steel plate used to close the opening produced in the superstructure (source: C. Clerici).
It was originally emplaced beside a road outside the ammunition store at Alice Castello and is believed to have been removed in the 1990s. It consisted of just the upper hull and turret fixed in concrete, with the entire lower hull, including engine compartment and running gear, removed. When seen there it retained its side door, and the mounting and inner mantlet for its machine-guns, but these are no longer fitted. It is generally in a poor and rusty condition.
