Are there any later projects for battleships after the Littorio class?

I have been curious to know if Italy went for other models of Battleships, as possible inclusion in the future.

nothing that ever got laid down, but there were some paper projects - I don’t have any sources other than mention here: Italian battleship design after Littorio? | Secret Projects Forum

There are no successors, they were the last designed battleship for Italy and there are couple mentions of their preliminary plans with 16" guns and an export 45000 tons battleship for Soviet (Project UP.41).
Forgot, modified Littorio for Spanish navy and another export Littorio (various with either 15" or 16" guns) for Argentina navy.

Later in the thread there’s some more extensive discussion about what they were thinking.

Afaik only paper and not really intended for Italian Navy, the only hope can be some obscure modernization of armament program for Littorio class, like Cavour’s got proposed AA, although I don’t remember such.
PS gib AShMs already and modern ships warfare.
