An Italian large combatant could exploit existing guns

How would Europe react to an Italian counterpart of the proposed large US combatant armed heavily with 76 mm guns, 5-inch guns, and railguns?

European allies would be more likely to study or copy it than fear it, and Italy could plausibly build such a global presence ship from systems it already produces.

The hypothetical Italian combatant combines heavy gun armament with railguns. The forecast is that friendly European states would be more interested in obtaining something similar than alarmed by an Italian ship. Reusing systems already carried on other ships is part of the concept's appeal. A large independent surface unit is envisaged for Mediterranean, Adriatic and more distant deployments. This remains a hypothetical design and reaction, without a procurement commitment.
