Italy ended the Paris 2024 Paralympics with 71 medals, including 24 golds, 15 silvers and 32 bronzes: surpassed the Tokyo 2020 edition, both as a total number of podiums (there were 69) and in terms of victories (14, with 29 silvers and 26 bronzes).

In France, Italy ranks sixth in the medal table, moving up three places from what happened in Japan. This is not an absolute record, as in the 1960 Rome edition, according to figures provided by the Italian Paralympic Committee, the Azzurri closed in first place with 28 golds, 30 silvers and 24 bronzes, for a total of 82 podiums.

That it could be an edition full of satisfaction for Italy could be guessed from the size of the Italian delegation, made up of 141 athletes, with 70 men and 71 women, that is, the largest ever, despite the qualification achieved in only one team sport, that obtained in women's sitting volleyball. In Paris 2024, once again, swimming took the lion's share: the Azzurri struck 37 medals, with as many as 16 golds, accompanied by 6 silvers and 15 bronzes. In Tokyo, by contrast, there were 39 podiums, but 11 golds, with 16 silvers and 12 bronzes.

Positive balance sheet also in athletics, which hit 8 podiums, one less than Tokyo, but with four golds (accompanied by three silvers and a bronze), while in Japan came only one, in the historic women's 100-meter flat T63 hat trick, blurred by a fall instead in Paris. Great results from Italy's volleyball team, which had not been on the top step of the podium since Heidelberg 1972, and instead in Paris hit two golds, as well as two bronzes. Cycling also did very well, with eight medals, including seven from the road and one from the track, and archery, with one gold and two bronzes.

There was a lack of gold, but as many as 4 medals came from fencing, just as in equestrianism a silver and a bronze came. Also historic were the two silvers that came in triathlon and the bronze, the first ever podium finish at the Paralympics for Italy in powerlifting, scored by Donato Telesca. There were 11 sports (12 disciplines) in which the Azzurri made it onto the podium, given the bronzes also centered in taekwondo and shooting, while medals were only narrowly missed in judo, with two fifth-place finishes, and rowing, where a disputed disqualification prevented Italy from taking the third step of the podium.
