It comes as a surprise to many soccer fans, even the hardcore fan, that Italy has only won 1 European Championship. That win came in 1968 and was historic in and of itself. The 1968 European Championship is the only major football final to go to a replay. Yes there was a day when penalty kicks did not determine a winner after a draw.

Italy has been more successful in the FIFA World Cup with 4 titles over the years. The Azzurri’s first win came in 1934 with wins following in 1938, 1982, and 2006.
