She was thoroughly reconstructed between 1895 and 1898 to a design created by Inspector Engineer Giacinto Pulino. The ship's old, slow-firing 17.7 in guns were replaced with new 10 in/40 Type 41 naval gun guns, and she received a new secondary battery to defend the ship against torpedo boats. The battery consisted of five QF 4.7-inch Gun Mk I–IV 40-caliber guns, sixteen QF 6 pounder Nordenfelt 43-caliber quick-firing guns, eight 20-caliber revolver cannon, and four machine guns. The main battery guns were placed in significantly smaller turrets that had of armor plating; the lighter guns and turrets reduced the ship's displacement to normally and at full load. "Enrico Dandolo" also received a new engine, though her performance remained the same. The ship's crew increased to 495.
