About

Walk of Fame of Italian sport (Italian: Walk of Fame dello sport italiano) is the Walk of Fame of the Italian sport, inaugurated by Italian National Olympic Committee (CONI) on 7 May 2015. It is a list of 140 Italian all-time champions, which has been implemented on six occasions (five new entries in 2015, 2016 and 2021, seven in 2018, three in 2019, and fifteen in 2023), from the initial 100 names.

The first one hundred inductees consisted of former athletes chosen on the basis of the exclusive decisions of the CONI 's Commissione Atleti (English: Athletes Commission), chaired by Marco Durante. During the first ceremony, it was announced that further former athletes would be added in subsequent years.

The Walk of Fame of Italian sport is a road path in Rome with plaques dedicated to former Italian sports athletes who have distinguished themselves internationally. It runs between the Avenue of the Olympics and the Stadio Olimpico in the Olympic Park of the Foro Italico of the capital.
