X Factor is a TV show which airs on prime time in Italy. The singing competition is the Italian version of English The X Factor. It was hosted until the Season 4 by Francesco Facchinetti, its judges in the first two series (2008 and 2008–2009) were the musical producer Mara Maionchi, TV host Simona Ventura and the singer-songwriter Morgan.

In series 3 (late 2009), former actress/singer-turned-music producer Claudia Mori replaced Ventura as a judge.

Series 4 (2010) faced several changes. The categories were merged into four, the same as the UK version (25+, Groups, Boys and Girls). The judging panel was changed: (Mara Maionchi continued and Claudia Mori and Morgan were replaced, respectively, by singer and musician Elio, singer-songwriter Enrico Ruggeri and pop singer Anna Tatangelo.

Series 5 (2011) faced important changes: the show has been aired since 2011 by pay-TV Sky Uno HD, the entertainment-purposed channel of Sky Italy, owned by News Corporation. The host is the former MTV veejay Alessandro Cattelan. Elio was the only judge from the fourth series to return. Mara Maionchi, Enrico Ruggeri and Anna Tatangelo were replaced by new judge Arisa, and former judges Morgan and Simona Ventura. All four judges and host had been confirmed in series 6 (2012).

In series 7 (2013), the judging panel was changed with Mika replacing Arisa.

Series 8 (2014) saw another change to the judging panel: Simona Ventura and Elio were replaced, respectively, by TV host and former MTV veejay Victoria Cabello and rapper Fedez.

Series 9 (2015) started airing in September 2015: the judging panel faced some changes: Morgan and Victoria Cabello were replaced by Elio (judge from series 4 to series 7), and Skin.

Series 10 (2016) will start airing in September 2016: the judging panel will face some changes, as all of Skin, Mika and Elio all left the panel, allowing room for three other judges. Arisa is returning to the panel, after a three-year break, and the show will welcome two new judges, Alvaro Soler and Manuel Agnelli. Meanwhile, the only returning judge from last series, Fedez, will return for his third series.

The winners of the first edition were the Vocal Group Aram Quartet. Giusy Ferreri, the runner-up of the show, has become one of the most successful female singers in Italy. The winner of the second edition was Matteo Becucci (25+ years), while Noemi came to major success between the Italian public; the third edition was won by Marco Mengoni. The three series have been won by acts mentored by Morgan. Elio has token the title in the fourth season with Nathalie Giannitrapani. The fifth edition has been won by Francesca Michielin. The sixth has been won by Chiara Galiazzo followed by Michele Bravi during the seventh, and Lorenzo Fragola during the 8th season and Giosada during the 9th season
