Minelaying against Italian harbours

Did the Royal Navy consider laying mines around Italian harbours?

Yes. Minelaying was considered and was carried out against Italian harbours at some points.

A viewer asks whether minelaying schemes considered around French forces were also applied to Italian harbours. The idea was considered, and such operations were carried out at certain points. Mine warfare offered another way to constrain fleets protected in port alongside direct air attack. The brief exchange names no specific harbour or date, so it supports the general planning point without establishing a more detailed operational claim.
