The Semovente 47/32 was an Italian self-propelled gun during World War II. It was created by mounting a Cannone da 47/32 M35 in a box-like superstructure on a Fiat L6/40 chassis. Some were built as command tanks with a radio installed instead of the main gun. A 8 mm machine gun disguised as the 47 mm main gun was used on these versions to make them look like regular Semovente 47/32s. About 300 Semovente 47/32 were built from 1941 and onward.
