Italy competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.
In Italy's first appearance on the athletics program, two Italian athletes entered three events. They did not advance to the finals in any event and won no medals.
Italy's first cycling appearance was at the second Olympic cycling competition, 1900. Seven cyclists from Italy competed in one event, winning no medals. The closest an Italian came to winning a medal was reaching a semifinal.
Italy had three competitors at the first Olympic equestrian events. The names of two are known. Trissino competed twice in the high jump, on different horses, as well as jumping.
