IN response to a request here is a selected list of the sources for Italian navies as listed on Three Decks.
by Virgilio Ilari & Piero Crociani, all available as pdf's in Italian: follow the links on https://threedecks.org/index.php?displa ... rce_search
La Marina Italiana di Napoleone
La Marina Ligure di Napoleone 1797-1814
La Marina Napoletana di Murat (1806-15)
Books
Vascelli e Fregate della Serenissima - Gruppo Modellistico Trentino di Studio e recerca storica In Italian
Venetian Ships and Shipbuilders of the Renaissance - Frederic Chapin Lane
There will be others.
Also a search on Three Decks itself will find a lot of info on Italian ships of the various disparate nation states. E.g. a search for Ligurian Republic vessels shows 19 vessels
