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.

Since then, 110 editions were held with the only exceptions of the years 1915-1918 and 1944. During 1945, only athletes of Northern Italy could participate but FIDAL considered this edition as an official one.

To the running races, in 1913 the field events were added.

Some facts have to be underlined:

Shows only the main venue of the events (usually marathon, race walk, 10000 metres and combined events were held in different venues). In 2013 the Championships backs in Arena Civica in Milan.

The number of editions refers to the male ones, the female ones are 19 less. The first women's edition was disputed in 1923 and until 1952 the men's and women's championships disputed the two different venues. Only from the 1953 edition the championships were disputed in a single venue.
