ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This Prospectus Supplement should be read together with the accompanying Prospectus, dated
October 30, 2020, of the Republic of Italy and any other documents incorporated by reference herein.
The Prospectus contains information regarding the Republic of Italy (``Italy'') and a description of
certain terms of Italy's securities. Further information regarding Italy and the Notes offered by this
Prospectus Supplement, which constitute a separate series of the debt securities of Italy being offered
from time to time pursuant to the Prospectus, may be found in our registration statement
(no. 333-249472), on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'').
Neither this Prospectus Supplement, nor the Prospectus constitute a prospectus pursuant to Part II
of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law implementing the Prospectus Directive nor a simplified prospectus
pursuant to Part III of the Luxembourg Prospectus Law. Accordingly, neither this Prospectus
Supplement, nor the Prospectus does not purport to meet the format and the disclosure requirements
of the Prospectus Directive and Commission Regulation (EC) No. 809/2004 (as amended), and it has
not been, and will not be, submitted for approval to any competent authority within the meaning of the
Prospectus Directive and, in particular, to the Luxembourg Commission de Surveillance du Secteur
Financier, which is the Luxembourg competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus Directive
and one of the competent authorities under the Luxembourg Prospectus Law. The debt securities,
issued pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, nor the Prospectus, will therefore not qualify for the
benefit of the single European passport pursuant to the Prospectus Directive.
The distribution of this Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus and any other documents
incorporated by reference herein and the offering of the Notes in certain jurisdictions may be restricted
by law. Persons who come into possession of this Prospectus Supplement or the Prospectus should
inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions. This Prospectus Supplement and the
Prospectus do not constitute, and may not be used in connection with, an offer or solicitation by
anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person
making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to any person to whom it is unlawful to
make such offer or solicitation. See ``Underwriting.''
Italy accepts responsibility for the information contained in the Prospectus Supplement, in the
Prospectus and in any other documents incorporated by reference herein. To the best of the knowledge
and belief of Italy (which has taken all reasonable care to ensure that such is the case), the information
contained in the Prospectus Supplement, in the Prospectus and in any other documents incorporated by
reference herein is in accordance with the facts and does not omit anything likely to affect the import
of such information.
As used in this Prospectus Supplement, references to ``$'', ``US$'', or ``dollars'' are to the legal
currency of the United States of America.
Enforcement of Civil Liabilities
Italy is a foreign sovereign government. Consequently, it may be difficult for investors to obtain or
realize upon judgments of courts in the United States against Italy. We will irrevocably submit to the
jurisdiction of the Federal and State courts in The City of New York and will irrevocably waive to the
fullest extent permitted by Italian law any objection to venue and any immunity from the jurisdiction of
such courts, but not from execution, attachment or process in the nature thereof, in connection with
any action arising out of or based upon the Notes brought by any holder of the Notes in any State or
Federal court in the City of New York or in any competent court in the Republic of Italy. We reserve
the right to plead sovereign immunity under the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of
1976 with respect to actions brought against it under United States Federal securities laws or any state
securities laws. In the absence of a waiver of immunity by Italy with respect to these actions, it would
not be possible to obtain a United States judgment in such an action against Italy unless a court were
S-ii

to determine that we are not entitled under the Immunities Act to sovereign immunity with respect to
such action. Enforceability in Italy of final judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions based on the
civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws is subject, among other things, to the absence
of a conflicting final judgment by an Italian court or of a previously instituted action pending in Italy
among the same parties and arising from the same facts and circumstances and to the Italian courts'
determination that the U.S. courts had jurisdiction, that process was appropriately served on the
defendant, and that enforcement would not violate Italian public policy. In general, the enforceability in
Italy of final judgments of U.S. courts obtained would not require retrial in Italy. In original actions
brought before Italian courts, there is doubt as to the enforceability of liabilities based on the U.S.
federal securities laws. The Italian courts may enter and enforce judgments in foreign currencies. See
also ``Description of Debt Securities--Governing Law; Consent to Service'' in the Prospectus.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
The information included in this section supplements the information about the Republic of Italy that
is contained in Exhibit 1 to Italy's Annual Report on Form 18-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2019 (as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2020). To the extent that the
information included in this section differs from the information set forth in the Annual Report, you should
rely on the information in this section.
REPUBLIC OF ITALY
Coronavirus Pandemic
Tightening of lockdown restrictions.
As a response to an increase in cases of Coronavirus across
Italy, in late October and November 2020 the Government enacted a number of additional measures
aimed at preventing the spread of the virus, mitigating the negative economic effects of Coronavirus
and supporting the Italian economy, including what follows:
· On October 28, 2020, the Government enacted Law Decree No. 137/2020 (the so-called Decreto
Ristori) (the ``Restore Decree'') introducing measures providing financial support to certain
businesses and workers impacted by new lockdown restrictions. These measures included
approximately A2.5 billion in grants to certain businesses affected by the new restrictions to
partially restore falls in turnover, financial support to businesses furloughing employees, partial
suspension of social security contributions by businesses (with a full suspension for businesses
suffering a loss of turnover higher than 20 per cent), tax rebates for rent paid by businesses and
a cancellation of certain taxes, financial support to workers in the entertainment, sport and
travel industries as well as to low-income households, grants to businesses in the fishing and
agriculture industries.
· On November 3, 2020, the Government enacted a Decree of the President of the Cabinet which,
among other things, created three designations for Italian regions (yellow, orange and red, with
yellow being least severe and red being most) and provided for the application of different
lockdown restrictions depending on the designation allocated..
· On November 9, 2020, the Government enacted Law Decree No. 149/2020 (the so-called Decreto
Ristori-bis), expanding the application of the measures included in the Restore Decree to
additional industries and businesses affected by the new lockdown restrictions, as well as further
grants to businesses already covered by the Restore Decree which were further impacted by the
new restrictions introduced in the orange and red zones. The measures also included: the
creation of a fund to automatically pay sums out to regions that may be affected by future
restrictions, the creation of a fund to issue grants to businesses operating in shopping malls and
in the food industry suffering declines in turnover, an expansion of the tax rebates for rent paid
by businesses in the red zone, suspension of VAT and other withheld tax payments for
businesses whose operations were suspended, an expansion of the social security contribution
suspensions introduced in the Restore Decree and cancellation of suspension of certain taxes.
EU measures enacted in response to Coronavirus.
In March 2020, the EU announced a
temporary A750 billion asset purchase programme of private and public sector securities, the so-called
Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme (``PEPP''). On June 4, 2020, the PEPP was increased to
A1,350 billion. Net asset purchases under the PEPP will terminate once the EU has determined that the
crisis phase caused by the Coronavirus pandemic has ended and in any case not before June 2021. As
of September 30, 2020, the cumulative net purchases (representing the difference between the
acquisition cost of all purchase operations and the redeemed nominal amounts) of Italian public debt
securities was approximately A95.2 billion.
S-4

On May 19, 2020, the EU approved Council Regulation 2020/672 (``SURE Regulation'') which
lays down the legal framework for providing financial assistance in an aggregate amount of up to A100
billion to Member States which are experiencing, or are seriously threatened with, a severe economic
disturbance caused by the Coronavirus pandemic. Loans granted under the SURE Regulation, the
terms of which are to be agreed in a loan agreement between the beneficiary Member State and the
European Commission, are intended to help Member States cover the costs related to the financing of
national short-time work schemes and similar measures put in place at a national level in response to
the Coronavirus pandemic, as well as health-related measures adopted by Member States so as to
ensure a safe return to normal economic activity. On September 17, 2020, the EU approved granting
Italy a loan pursuant to the SURE Regulation in an aggregate principal amount A27.4 billion, with a
maximum average maturity of 15 years (the ``SURE Facility''). On October 27, 2020 and November 17,
2020, Italy received an amount of A10.0 billion and A6.5 billion, respectively, under the SURE Facility.
The remaining amounts under the SURE Facility may be paid to Italy in a maximum of eight further
instalments, which may be disbursed in one or several tranches.
PUBLIC DEBT
Public Debt Management.
Debt management continues to be geared towards lengthening the
average residual maturity of public debt. In 2019, the average maturity of Government debt increased,
for a third consecutive year, from 6.8 years at the end of 2018 to 6.9 years at the end of 2019. As of
October 31, 2020, the average maturity of Government debt stood at 6.92 years.
