The Fusile Vetterli-Vitali Modello 1870/87 is an Italian bolt-action rifle. Developed in the 1870s as a modification of the earlier Vetterli rifle, it was updated with Vitali's innovative magazine system, allowing for the use of metallic cartridges and increasing the rifle's rate of fire. Its adoption by the Italian Army marked a significant departure from earlier single-shot rifles, enhancing infantry firepower and battlefield effectiveness. Despite its technological advancements, the Vetterli-Vitali rifle faced obsolescence with the emergence of more advanced rifles such as the Fucile Modello 1891 Carcano, though many were later rechambered to 6.5x52mm Carcano and used in both World Wars.
