Italy fielded a full squad of seven gymnasts (two men and five women) into the Olympic competition. The women's squad finished fifth out of nine nations eligible for qualification in the team all-around to assure its Olympic berth at the [[2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships]] in [[Stuttgart]], [[Germany]]. On the men's side, Rio 2016 Olympian [[Ludovico Edalli]] and rookie [[Marco Lodadio]] booked their spots in the individual all-around and apparatus events at the same tournament, with the latter bagging the silver medal in the rings exercise.<ref>{{cite news|title=U.S., Biles top women's qualification at Stuttgart Worlds|url=https://live.gymnastics.sport/news_display.php?idevent=14274&idnews=2688&keyword=|publisher=[[International Gymnastics Federation|FIG]]|date=5 October 2019|access-date=6 October 2019|archive-date=3 November 2019|archive-url=https://archive.today/20191103060454/https://live.gymnastics.sport/news_display.php?idevent=14274&idnews=2688&keyword=|url-status=live}}</ref> Vanessa Ferrari initially qualified as an individual; however, [[Giorgia Villa]]'s injury resulted in Ferrari's placement on the team.
