The Cannone da 90/53 was an Italian 90mm towed anti-aircraft gun from the Second World War. Its first prototypes were made at the end of the 1930s, and serial production continued in 1939-1943, ending with the production of about 540 copies of this weapon. The initial velocity of the projectile fired from this gun was up to 830 m / s, and the maximum vertical range was up to 12,000 meters. Theoretical rate of fire was 17-19 rounds per minute.

Cannone da 90/53 was developed and produced at Ansaldo's plants in Genoa. The new anti-aircraft gun turned out to be a very successful design. It was characterized by great accuracy, high initial velocity of the projectile and good horizontal and vertical range. The rate of fire of the weapon can also be considered high. In many respects, the Italian gun was equal to its German counterpart - the famous 88mm FlaK 18 gun. The Cannone da 90/53 was produced in a stationary (mod. 41P) and a towed (mod. 41C) version. A small number of its copies were also mounted on SPA 41 and Lancia 3Ro trucks. Due to its ballistic parameters, it was also used as an anti-tank gun during the battles in North Africa (1940-1943) and was used as the main armament of the Semovente M41M da 90/53 tank destroyer. After the capitulation of Italy in 1943, large amounts of this great cannon were used by the Wehrmacht.
