Polo in Italy
Italy's polo scene is centred on the areas around Milan, Rome, and the Ligurian Riviera. The Italian Polo Federation (Federazione Italiana Polo, FIP) governs the sport and oversees a calendar that runs from spring through early autumn. Venues in Milan and at Forte dei Marmi attract an international social crowd alongside competitive players, and beach polo events on the Italian coast have grown in prominence. Italy's polo community benefits from strong equestrian traditions and close connections with the broader European circuit.
