On Saturday, 24th, “Finder Italian Grand Masters” reached a total of 360 Men, 61 Ladies.
On Sunday, 25th, “4th Open Italia” registered a number of 321 + 51.
On Saturday, FIGM was won by Wesley Harms (seed no. 1) after a hard battle with Mario Vandenbogaerde, from Belgium (seed 15). 6-4 was the final result, and for Wesley that’s third-in-a-row victory in the Italian tournament.

Ladies Tournament has gone to Aileen De Graaf, getting an easy win against Paula Jacklin.
On 3rd place English Ladies Trina Gulliver, MBE and Laura Turner.
On Sunday, was Martin ‘Wolfie’ Adams to grab the victory (6-5) after recovered from 0-3, 1-4 and 2-5 against unseeded spanish player Ricardo Perez Ibarra. Third place for Mario Vandenbogaerde and Aaron Turner.
Best Italian player was Danilo Vigato (5th place).
Ladies Tournament had first four classified in same sequence of previous day: again Aileen De Graaf lining up Paula Jacklin (5-1 the final score), Laura Turner and Trina Gulliver, MBE.
On “Finder Italian Grand Masters”, Saturday, ‘Scotty Dog’ Mitchell threw final dart for an on-stage spectacular 9-dart leg (in Quarter Final vs. Scott Waites) but he missed D12. Curiously, chalker wrote “181”-left after first six darts, immediately corrected by Official Caller: perhaps Scott maybe slightly unfocused by that.
