General Interest

General
Italy share the record with France for most appearances in men's team epee at the Olympic Games, with both nations participating in 21 editions. Both Italy's tallies of eight Olympic titles and 15 total medals are only bettered by their French rivals.

The Italian team's most prolific run at the Olympic Games saw them win 10 consecutive medals between 1920 and 1964, including six golds. They would add another two gold medals in 1996 and 2000, as well as podium finishes in their last two Olympic appearances in the event in 2008 [bronze] and 2016 [silver]. At the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, they beat Switzerland and Ukraine to book their place in the gold medal match, where they were defeated 45-31 by their old rivals France. The Italian men secured their spot at Tokyo 2020 as one of the world's top four ranked teams.

Despite historical success in the event at the world championships, Italy are without a medal at the tournament since 2007 and have not won a world title since 1993. Since their last medal [silver] in 2007, their best result is fourth, which they achieved twice [2012 and 2015]. They have been eliminated at the quarterfinal stage at each of the last three editions of the tournament in 2017, 2018 and 2019, losing to Switzerland twice and to Ukraine at the 2019 edition in Budapest.

Italy have been crowned European champions once [1999], and last finished on the podium at the European championships at the 2018 edition in Serbia, where they won bronze behind France and gold medallists the Russian Federation.
