Since Italy's first international association football match in 1910, 26 footballers have scored a hat-trick for the national team.
The first player who scored a hat-trick was Pietro Lana in the 6–2 victory against France on 15 May 1910. The highest individual score in a single match is four goals, which has been achieved by six players: Carlo Biagi, Francesco Pernigo, Omar Sívori, Alberto Orlando, Gigi Riva, and Roberto Bettega. Five players have scored a hat-trick more than once, such as Giuseppe Meazza, Angelo Schiavio, Silvio Piola, Gigi Riva and Paolo Rossi. The highest number of hat-tricks in a single match is three, which occurred during the third place match concerning the 1928 Summer Olympics, related to Italy's 11–3 victory over Egypt where Angelo Schiavio, Elvio Banchero and Mario Magnozzi each scored three goals.{{Cite web|title=Italy – Egypt 11:3|url=https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/mensolympic/amsterdam1928/matches/round=197036/match=32334/index.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131007082626/https://www.fifa.com/tournaments/archive/mensolympic/amsterdam1928/matches/round=197036/match=32334/index.html|archive-date=7 October 2013|access-date=25 March 2016|website=FIFA.com|publisher=FIFA}} Gigi Riva, with three hat-tricks, has scored the highest number of hat-tricks for Italy.
