This kit is an exact scale model of this famous school ship of the Italian Navy.
Amerigo Vespucci is a 3-mast fully rigged sailing ship that takes its name from the famous Italian sailor and cartographer who also lent his name to the new world.
She was planned by the lieutenant colonel Francesco Rotundi, following the trends of war sailing vessels. She was launched in 1931 at the Navy's ship yards of Castellammare di Stabia, Naples,
and carried out many voyages before World War II. The period during WWII was the only time the ship has not been active.
The elegant, three-masted full rigger now serves as the training vessel of the Italian Naval Academy.
