The Lancia d'Oro was a men's professional golf tournament held in Italy from 1962 to 1976.

Generally it was a limited-field invitation event but the 1972 tournament was a full-field event,[1] and was part of what would later be recognised as the inaugural European Tour season.

[2] José María Cañizares led after each of the first three rounds with scores of 69, 70 and 75.
