Fun fact: when the USA changed their minds and decided not to share the Polaris with the Italians, the Italians decided to build [|their own medium-range ballistic missile]. It was called Alfa, and it reached the prototype stage before the non-proliferation stuff kicked in and the project was scrapped. Part of that know-how went to the ASI (Agenzia Spaziale Italiana), and the now-active Vega rocket can claim the Alfa as an ancestor.
