Notes

Beijing 2022, cape from the uniform worn by the Italian delegation. For its latest collaboration with the Italian NOC, Armani replicated an element used for the Rio 2016 outfits; the lining bore the first verse of the Italian national anthem. While dark blue – frequently employed by the creator – was used for the jacket lining, the blue in the uniform corresponds more to the bright colour that often characterises the Azzurri uniform. Donated by the NOC
