List of Italian champions in chess
The list of Italian champions in chess contains the winners of all Italian individual championships.
General
Before the Italian chess federation Federazione Scacchistica Italiana was founded in September 1920, a total of 16 national tournaments ( Torneo Nazionale ) were played. From 1921 to the Second World War, the Italian championship was played only irregularly, since 1947 it has been held annually (with a few exceptions). Record champion is Stefano Tatai with twelve titles. The Italian women's championship was played for the first time in 1938, and the second event followed a year later. In the 1950s there were three unofficial championships, and since 1973 the competition has been held almost continuously every year. The record champion is Rita Gramignani with nine titles.
