In fact, that is the exact reason that was given by the page for the abandonment of these plans -- practically verbatim, in fact.
So perhaps it was considered so fantastical and outlandish that it was dismissed right from the outset -- just like the German "Atlantik Bomber Kreuzers" made of aluminum and carrying triple 203mm -- and therefore not worth wasting space on.
I suspect the case is that either the source is mistaken as to the obscurity of the design, or the person copying it onto the Lesta Wiki misunderstood whatever the original source was saying.
As I mentioned in the post above - it makes little sense that they would have considered a full turret for a destroyer design the size of the CMdO's, just given the collective mass of those turrets, and the fact that they were full base ring mounts with considerable below-decks footprint. The Marina Militare would eventually do something like that on this hull form - but that was on the
Indomito-class with 5"/38 Mk.38 turrets (43.4t), which was still over 600 tonnes greater displacement (standard), seven meters longer, and had a meter in beam over the CMdO's.
What I suspect is actually the case is that the designers may have briefly considered a common cradle twin
mount based on the 120/50 twin mounts, reflecting the design studies Ansaldo had already done before the war. The Russian authors may have either reported this as such, and whoever copied it to the Lesta Wiki just assumed they were the turrets from the Capitani - or the original Russian authors simply read about twin
mounts and assumed that they were the twin
turrets used by the Capitani, never realizing that there were multiple mounts designed. It would not be surprising given the general obscurity of Italian designs that didn't make it to at least prototype stage (and even many of them) compared to, say, many Soviet or German designs that only ever existed on paper.
Heck, even setting aside the twin mount, Ansaldo designed two different two-gun 135/45 turrets that
aren't the Model 1938 turret actually used on the Capitani Romani-class. And who knows what is hiding out in OTO's archives...
