This chapter reports on content and language integration learning (CLIL) implementation and research in Italy. The chapter first summarises the Italian education system, then details the different stages that have characterised the implementation of CLIL in Italy, from the endorsement of CLIL within the wider European language policy in the 1990s to its designation as a compulsory methodology in Italian upper secondary schools in the 2010s, taking heed of the effects of these stages on teacher training and practice. The focus then shifts to a review of research, which has provided insights into the affordances, implementational challenges, and outcomes of CLIL in the Italian context. The chapter concludes with national, regional, and global implications.
