The Folgore class were a group of four destroyers built for the Regia Marina (Royal Italian Navy) in the 1930s.

The Folgore-class destroyers were extremely similar to the preceding Freccia class, although their beam was reduced in an unsuccessful attempt to improve their speed over that achieved by the earlier ships.

They carried enough fuel oil to give them a range of 3,600 nautical miles (6,700 km; 4,100 mi) at a speed of 12 knots (22 km/h; 14 mph).

[1] Their main battery consisted of four 50-caliber Cannone da 120 mm (4.7 in)/50 A Modello 1926 guns in two twin-gun turrets, one each fore and aft of the superstructure.

Although the ships were not provided with a sonar system for anti-submarine work, they were fitted with a pair of depth charge throwers.
