It was one of the principal Italian long-range guns in World War II and saw service in North Africa, Russia, and Sicily.

The Italians found that it did not compare favorably to the Canone de 105/28 due to the heavier weight, especially in Ukraine.

Because it was located on a 45 degree slope, the risk of it sliding down was considered too great, so the gun was relocated by lifting it with a Superpuma helicopter.
