Italian Athletics Championships

The Italian Athletics Championships (Italian: Campionati italiani assoluti di atletica leggera) are the national championships in athletics, organised every year by the Federazione Italiana di Atletica Leggera.

The first edition, four races only, was held in 1906 at Arena Civica in Milan, just after the foundation of the Federazione Podistica Italiana and with the organization of La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Angiolo Profeti (shot put) and Adolfo Consolini (discus throw), with their 15 outdoor titles, are those who have won the highest number in a single specialty.

Notably, at the 2007 IAAF Golden League in Rome, French high jumper Salim Sdiri was hit by a javelin.
