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 Law of 10 July 2005, as amended (the "Luxembourg Prospectus Law") implementing certain
provisions of the Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council
of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to
trading on a regulated market, , nor a simplified prospectus pursuant to Part III of the Luxembourg
Prospectus Law. Accordingly, neither this Prospectus Supplement, nor the Prospectus purport to meet the
format and the disclosure requirements of the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, as amended or
supplemented from time to time (the "Prospectus Regulation") and it has not been, and will not be, submitted
for approval to any competent authority within the meaning of the Prospectus Regulation and, in particular,
to the Luxembourg Supervisory Commission of the Financial Sector (Commission de Surveillance du
Secteur Financier -- CSSF), which is the Luxembourg competent authority for the purpose of the Prospectus
Regulation and one of the competent authorities under the Luxembourg Prospectus Law. The debt
securities, issued pursuant to this Prospectus Supplement, or the Prospectus, will therefore not qualify for
the benefit of the single European passport pursuant to the Prospectus Regulation.
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 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
S-ii


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.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following is a brief summary of the terms and conditions of the Notes pursuant to the fiscal agency
agreement that governs the Notes. We have filed or will file copies of the forms Notes and the fiscal agency
agreement as exhibits to our Registration Statement or an amendment to our Annual Report. Because this is
only a summary, you should read the form of the Notes and the fiscal agency agreement in their entirety. You can
find the definitions of certain terms used in this description in the Prospectus under the subheading "Description
of the Debt Securities -- Definitions."
The Notes
The Notes are to be issued pursuant to a fiscal agency agreement, dated as of January 29, 2013,
between Italy and Citibank, N.A., as fiscal agent. The following statements and the statements under
"Description of Debt Securities" in the Prospectus briefly summarize some of the terms of the Notes and
the fiscal agency agreement. This summary and the summary in the Prospectus are qualified in their entirety
by reference to the fiscal agency agreement and to the form of the global note, described below, filed or to
be filed by Italy with the Commission.
· The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. At maturity, the Notes will be
redeemed at 100 per cent of their principal amount.
· The Notes will be direct, general and unconditional obligations of Italy and will rank pari passu
amongst themselves and with all others present and future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations
of Italy, except for such obligations as may be preferred by mandatory provisions of international
treaties and similar obligations to which Italy is a party.
· The fiscal agent is not a trustee for the holders of the Notes and does not have the same responsibilities
or duties to act for such holders as would a trustee. We may maintain deposit accounts and conduct
other banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with the fiscal agent.
The 2024 Notes:
· are to be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000,000;
· bear interest at 0.875% per annum on the outstanding principal amount from May 6, 2021;
· are to pay interest on May 6 and November 6 of each year, commencing November 6, 2021;
· mature on May 6, 2024; and
· pay all amounts due in respect of principal or interest in U.S. Dollars.
The 2051 Notes:
· are to be issued in the aggregate principal amount of $1,500,000,000;
· bear interest at 3.875% per annum on the outstanding principal amount from May 6, 2021;
· are to pay interest on May 6 and November 6 of each year, commencing November 6, 2021;
· mature on May 6, 2051; and
· pay all amounts due in respect of principal or interest in U.S. Dollars.
Interest
The Notes will bear interest from and including May 6, 2021. Interest on the Notes shall be payable
semi-annually in arrears on May 6 and November 6 of each year (each an "Interest Payment Date"), unless
any Interest Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Banking Day, in which case the
Interest Payment Date shall be immediately succeeding Banking Day without any interest or other payment
as a result of the delay. Interest will be paid to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close of business on the preceding February 3 and August 3, as the case may be (the "Record Date"). Interest
will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. "Banking Day" means any day
S-4


that is a day on which banking institutions in New York City are not generally authorized or obliged by law,
regulation or executive order to close.
Form, Denomination and Registration
The statements set forth in this Prospectus Supplement in this section under this subsection and
"Definitive Notes" and in the section entitled "Global Clearance and Settlement" include summaries of
certain rules and operating procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream that affect transfers of interests
in the global notes.
The Notes will be issued in the form of one or more global notes, in fully registered form, without
coupons, which will be deposited on or about the Closing Date with Citibank, N.A. as custodian for, and
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of, DTC. Except as described herein, certificates will not be
issued in exchange for beneficial interests in the global notes.
Except as set forth below, the global notes may be transferred, in whole and not in part, only to DTC,
another nominee of DTC or a successor of DTC or its nominee.
Beneficial interests in the global notes will be represented, and transfers of such beneficial interests will
be effected, through accounts of financial institutions acting on behalf of beneficial owners as direct or
indirect participants in DTC. Those beneficial interests will be in denominations of $200,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Investors may hold Notes directly through DTC, Euroclear or
Clearstream, if they are participants in such systems, or indirectly through organizations that are participants
in such systems. Euroclear and Clearstream hold securities on behalf of their participants through
customers' securities accounts in their respective names on the books of their respective depositaries, which
in turn hold securities in customers' securities accounts in the depositories' names on the books of DTC.
Except as provided below, under "Definitive Notes", owners of beneficial interests in the global notes
will not be entitled to have Notes registered in their names, and will not receive or be entitled to receive
physical delivery of Notes in definitive form. Except as provided below, beneficial owners will not be
considered the owners or holders of the Notes under the fiscal agency agreement, including for purposes of
receiving any reports delivered by Italy or the fiscal agent pursuant to the fiscal agency agreement.
Accordingly, each beneficial owner must rely on the procedures of the clearing systems and, if such person
is not a participant of the clearing systems, on the procedures of the participant through which such person
owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the fiscal agency agreement. Italy understands
that, under existing industry practices, if Italy requests any action of holders or a beneficial owner desires to
give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the fiscal agency agreement, the
clearing systems would authorize their participants holding the relevant beneficial interests to give or take
action and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through the participants to give or take
such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners. Conveyance of notices and
other communications by the clearing systems to their participants, by the participants to indirect participants
and by the participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements
among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. The
laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such
securities in certificated form. These limits and laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in
global notes.
Persons who are not DTC participants may beneficially own Notes held by DTC only through direct
or indirect participants in DTC (including Euroclear and Clearstream). So long as Cede & Co., as the
nominee of DTC, is the registered owner of the global note, Cede & Co. for all purposes will be considered
the sole holder of the Notes under the fiscal agency agreement and the Notes.
Payments
Payments of principal of and interest on the global notes will be made to Cede & Co., the nominee for
DTC, as the registered owner. The principal and interest on the Notes will be payable in United States dollars
or in such other coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender
for payment therein of public and private debts.
