Batteria Mameli, Military fortification in Genoa, Italy.
Located on the heights of Pegli, Batteria Mameli features three naval guns of 152/50 caliber positioned for coastal defense purposes.
The Italian Military Engineering Corps completed this fortification in 1935 as part of the defensive system protecting the Gulf of Genoa during World War II.
This structure represents Italian military engineering of the 1930s, demonstrating the period's coastal defense architecture through its cement construction and strategic positioning.
Visitors can access the fortification grounds, which now include an adventure park and a museum managed by the Ligurian Military Studies Coordination.
On June 10, 1940, the battery fired 64 shots at French forces attacking Genoa, successfully hitting the destroyer Albatros during its first military engagement.
