Italy autoloader heavy tank

[Nothing XD]

Bisonte C45 tank (real name carro amato Degli Anni 2) designed by Colonel Mario Zini, this is a project of a heavy tank with low configuration, easy to maintain and uses 105mm automatic loader. . However, no prototypes were created according to the mode.
This design idea was in 1971 by Mario Zini

Bisonte C45 this tank design by Colonel Mario Zini proposed a project for a low-profile, easy-to-maintain heavy tank and use 105mm autoloader.However, no prototype was ever built.

Any idea when this was?

By the looks of it, Colonel Zini gave his thoughts about the Italian main battle tank of the 1980s in an article entitled "Il carro armato italiano degli anni 80" which was published in the June 1971 issue of Rivista Militare (I hope the link works ---https://archive.org/details/Rivista_Militare_1971_n_6/page/n9/mode/2up?q=zini&view=theater).

The illustrations seen above can be found on pages 816 and 819.

Colonel Zini seemingly did not use the name Bisonte C45 in his text. That designation might, I repeat might, have been devised (much?) later by people who used his ideas for online wargaming purposes.

Exactly, because the original reddit r/WorldofTanks poster was working on a what-if thread of Italian tanks.

Were @Nothing XD to provide his source(s), it would be easier to separate out the chaff.
