If you had to choose one and only one, Giulio Cesare is still the front runner performance wise, even at tier V. Between the battleships Roma and Giulio Cesare there are also the light cruisers Duca d'Aosta and the upcoming Duca degli Abruzzi.
The Italian Regia Marina is solely comprised of premium ships at the moment. Roma face tanks like a boss, particularly at medium ranges (between 8km and 14km) but when things go wrong, she comes apart in a hurry. On the whole, if it weren't for Roma's citadel situation, she'd have a great armour profile. Graf Zeppelin's (admittedly still in testing) bombs weren't automatic world-enders, but she could reliably sink Roma with two squadrons. Without heals, it took over 20 bomb hits to sink her from American planes. In testing, American AP bombs just didn't seem to be able to stack damage quickly. Her deck armour profile is a bit of a mixed blessing when it comes to armour piercing bombs, however. Roma's in the good half of the dichotomy. At tier VIII, torpedo defenses are either amazaballs (Amagi, South Dakota sisters) or they suck moose balls (everyone else). Her torpedo damage reduction is pretty darned good, so to speak. This will also provide you with some very comfortable bounces when you angle just right. This is proof against HE from 420mm or smaller unless it's British BB or German BB & CA thrown.
When she angles, can foil even 460mm shells. She has a 130mm extended forward armoured belt. Alright, with that out of the way, let's talk about the good stuff:
