1906 Intercalated Games

Italy has sent athletes to most of the modern Olympic Games held since 1896, outside of not having officially participated (as a national delegation) in the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1]

Italy has taken part in all the Winter Olympic Games, winning 141 medals, and has won 618 medals at the Summer Olympic Games. Italy's total of 259 gold medals makes it the sixth most successful country in Olympic history, after the United States, the Soviet Union, Germany, Great Britain and France. Italy has the sixth highest medal total of all time with 759. Italy has the third longest medaling streak after Sweden and Finland. It has medaled in 40 straight Olympic Games, starting with the 1936 Summer Olympics.

The Italian National Olympic Committee was created in 1914 and recognised in 1915. As of 2020, Italy is the most successful nation at fencing in Olympic history.

Italy has participated in all Olympic Winter Games from 1924 to 2022, securing a total of 141 medals, including 42 gold medals. The country has excelled in various sports disciplines, with many achievements in cross-country skiing (36 medals, nine of which are gold), Alpine skiing (36 medals, 14 of which are gold) and luge (18 medals, seven of which are gold). Among the Italian Winter Olympians, only Alberto Tomba and Deborah Compagnoni have achieved the feat of winning three gold medals in Alpine skiing.[2]

Italy competed in tennis in 1920 and 1924, after which tennis was dropped from the Summer Olympics due to rule disputes. The sport returned in 1988, when Italy resumed sending tennis players to compete. Prior to 2024, Uberto De Morpurgo was the only Italian tennis player to win a medal at the Olympics. At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Lorenzo Musetti became the first player in one hundred years to win a medal for Italy.[31]
