The Race of Italy was the first round of the WTCC after its return in 2005.

It was held at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza between 2005 and 2008 before switching to the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola for 2009 in order to avoid clashing with the Formula One calendar.

In December 2009 it was confirmed Monza would return to host the Italian round of the WTCC,[2] where it has continued to be run since.

When the provisional 2014 calendar was released in November 2013, Italy had been dropped from the schedule having hosted a race in every season of the championship since it began in 2005.
