Following the end of the qualifying period, a total of 35 athletes (15 men and 20 women) were officially named to Italy's track and field roster for the Games on July 14, 2016, with triple jumper and London 2012 bronze medalist Fabrizio Donato matching the record with sprinter Pietro Mennea as the only men competing in five straight Olympics. A day later, high jumper and London 2012 Olympian Gianmarco Tamberi was forced to withdraw from the team after sustaining a partial rupture of his ankle ligament shortly upon clearing a national record of 2.39 m in Monaco.[8] Three more athletes (Lingua, Magnani, & Malavisi) were added to the team on July 18, bringing the roster size to 38.[9] On 27 July, Jamel Chatbi was suspended for missing out the doping test.

Rowing

Italy has qualified a total of eight boats for each of the following rowing classes into the Olympic regatta. Five rowing crews confirmed Olympic places for their boats at the 2015 FISA World Championships in Lac d'Aiguebelette, France, while the women's pair rowers added one more boat to the Italian roster as a result of their top four finish at the 2016 European & Final Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.

A total of 16 rowers (14 men and 2 women), highlighted by London 2012 silver medalist Romano Battisti (men's double sculls), were officially named to the Italian roster for the Games on July 13, 2016.[47]

On July 26, 2016, two more boats (men's eight and women's lightweight double sculls) were awarded to the Italian rowing team, as a response to the removal of four boats held by the Russians from FISA due to their previous doping bans and their implications in the "disappearing positive methodology" set out in the McClaren Report on Russia's state-sponsored doping.[48]

Following their podium finish at the 2015 49er & 49erFX World Championships, 2012 Olympians Giulia Conti and Francesca Clapcich became the first Italian sailors to be selected for Rio regatta.[50] By the end of 2015, two more crews joined Conti and Clapcich in the Italian Olympic sailing squad: Vittorio Bissaro and Silvia Sicouri (Nacra 17), and Flavia Tartaglini (RS:X).[51] Two further sailors (Camboni & Marrai) sealed their Olympic spots at the Princess Sofia Trophy regatta, while the remaining sailing crews (except the men's 470) rounded out the Italian selection on the last week of May 2016. The sailing crews were formally named to the Olympic roster on June 2, 2016.[52]

Shooting

Italian shooters have achieved quota places for the following events by virtue of their best finishes at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Championships, the 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and European Championships or Games, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying score (MQS) by March 31, 2016.[53]

On February 19, 2016, the Italian Shotgun Federation officially announced the names of the nine shooters to compete in Rio 2016, including Olympic champions Jessica Rossi in women's trap (2012) and Chiara Cainero in women's skeet (2008), 2012 Olympic runner-up Massimo Fabbrizi, and triple Olympic medalist Giovanni Pellielo, who has been set to appear at his seventh Games, both in men's trap.[54][55] Meanwhile, five other shooters competing in the rifle and pistol events were named to the Olympic roster, with Niccolò Campriani aiming to defend his title in the men's 50 m rifle 3 positions.[56]

Italy secured an additional quota place in the men's 50 m pistol at the 2015 European Shooting Championships, but the Italian Olympic Committee chose to exchange it with the men's 25 m rapid fire pistol instead based on performances throughout the qualifying period. The slot was awarded to rookie Riccardo Mazzetti.[56]

Swimming

Italian swimmers have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)):[57][58]

With the successful podium finish at the 2015 FINA World Championships, long-freestyle distance aces Gregorio Paltrinieri and upcoming four-time Olympian Federica Pellegrini became the first Italian swimmers to be selected to the Olympic team for Rio 2016.[59] The rest of the Italian swimmers must attain the federation's entry standards at three selection meets to confirm their places for the Games: Italian Nationals in Riccione (April 19 to 23), European Championships in London (May 16 to 22), and Sette Colli trophy in Rome (June 24 to 26).[60]

On June 30, 2016, the Italian Olympic Committee nominated a total of 38 swimmers (20 men and 18 women) for the Games. Eighteen of them, including Paltrinieri and Pellegrini, were directly qualified under the federation's entry standards in three-meet selection process, while others were added to the roster upon the federation's discretionary selection criteria.[61]
