This web site was made in 1996 by me, Giampiero RANIERI, and my father Adm. Attilio RANIERI, who died on november 18, 2008. This small site is dedicated to my father Adm. Attilio Ranieri, and to his pure passion and real love for Submarines. We have both been long time enthusiast submariners in the Italian Navy and we worked on this site out of sheer passion and in response to the signs of appreciation shown by our visitors.
