The actual construction of the ship, like all subsequent FREMM frigates for the Italian fleet, was carried out by the association of Fincantieri at the Riva Trigoso shipyard (Genoa). F 590 Carlo Bergamini was laid there on January 7, 2008, launched on July 16-19, 2011 and put to sea trials on October 6, 2011. At the Muggiano shipyard, the ship underwent the last revisions before surrendering to the fleet. In total, the Italian Navy plans to acquire 10 frigates of the FREMM type, of which four in the ASW variant and six in the multipurpose GP / LA variant.
