Boxing

Sixteen boxers represented Italy at the 1924 Games. It was the nation's second appearance in the sport. Italy was one of four nations (along with France, Great Britain, and the United States) to have two boxers in each of the eight weight classes; Italy was the only one of those four to not win any boxing medals. Castellenghi and Saraudi advanced to the semifinals in their weight classes, but both were beaten there and neither contested the bronze medal match.

Cycling

Ten cyclists represented Italy in 1924. It was the nation's fourth appearance in the sport. Italy took a single cycling medal in 1924, successfully defending the nation's championship in the team pursuit competition (though none of the winning 1920 cyclists were on the 1924 team).

Fencing

19 fencers, all men, represented Italy in 1924. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport. The absence of Nedo Nadi (by then a professional) and the heightened performance of France's Roger Ducret resulted in a relative down year for the Italian team, which defended only one of its five titles from 1920.

All six of the country's individual event competitors reached the finals; none won a medal. All three of the country's team event squads reached the finals; they won a gold medal in the sabre and a bronze in the épée. The team sabre competition pitted the defending champion Italian squad against a powerhouse Hungary team which had been excluded from competition in 1920. The four-team final pool was dominated by the two teams, and the match between them decided gold. That match was one of the closest of the 1924 Games, with the teams splitting the bouts 8 to 8 and Italy winning via tie-breaker: 50 touches to 46.

Gymnastics

Eight gymnasts represented Italy in 1924. It was the nation's fifth appearance in the sport. The Italian team won its third consecutive gold medal in the team event (in part at least due to Czechoslovakia's failure to finish), though were kept out of the individual all-around medals after having had an individual all-around gold medalist the previous two Games.

Mandrini had the best all-around result of the Italians, placing fourth despite earning no better than seventh in any single apparatus. Francesco Martino took the gold medal in the rings, while Zampori earned bronze in the parallel bars.
