We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Stadio Artemio Franchi — The stadium did not host matches during the 1934 FIFA World Cup; it opened in 1931 and was used for the 1934 World Cup only as a training ground, not for any official tournament matches.
San Siro — The claim that Italy's World Cup victories in 1982 and 2006 were preceded by crucial home matches at San Siro is misleading: Italy played no World Cup qualifying or final tournament matches at San Siro during the 1982 campaign, and for 2006, only one qualifier
Inno Nazionale — The anthem was officially adopted as the national anthem in 1946 is incorrect; it was adopted as a provisional anthem in 1946 but only became the official national anthem by law in 2017.
The Grande Nazionale Era (1950s–1960s) — The era is referred to as 'Grande Nazionale' but the widely-known canon term for this period is 'Grande Italia' or simply the 1960s revival; 'Grande Nazionale' is not a standard historical label.
1938 FIFA World Cup — The final match was held at the Stade Olympique de Colombes in Paris, not the Parc des Princes.
2006 FIFA World Cup — The entry states Italy's defense 'conceded a penalty in the Round of 16 against Australia' — this is factually incorrect; Italy was awarded a penalty, not conceded one.
2006 FIFA World Cup — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section claims Italy's defense 'kept clean sheets in their first three matches' — this is false because Italy conceded an own goal in the 1-1 draw against the USA.
Roberto Baggio 1994 Golden Ball — The entry claims Italy reached their fourth World Cup Final in 1994, but they had also reached the final in 1934 and 1938, making 1994 their fifth final.
1934 FIFA World Cup — The claim that Italy took an early lead through Raimundo Orsi is incorrect; Czechoslovakia took the lead first through Antonín Puč in the 71st minute, and Orsi equalized later.
