The Obice da 149/19 modello 37 was a heavy howitzer which served with Italy during World War II. It was intended to replace Italy’s assortment of World War I-era heavy howitzers but this was prevented by the prolonged development time and the very slow pace of production. Despite orders totaling 1392 weapons only 147 had been built by September 1942. There were three models the 37 41 and 42 differing only in details. The standard tractor was the Trattore SPA TM 40.
