The Italian tennis championship was first held in 1930 in Milan, where it was played until 1934 before being moved to the Foro Italico in Rome in 1935. No event was held between 1936 and 1949. The competition resumed in 1950. It became an "Open" event in 1969. Many people consider the Rome Masters to be the second most prestigious clay court tennis tournament in the world after the French Open.
