Italy has won a total of 246 gold medals which makes them the 6th most successful country in Olympic history, after the USA, the Soviet Union, Germany, Great Britain and France. Italy has the sixth highest medal total of all time with 701. The Italian National Olympic Committee was created in 1908 and recognised in 1913.
Argentina at the 1960 Summer Olympics won two medals, one bronze and one silver, and five Olympic diplomas. They placed 27th in total medal count over 83 participating countries. The silver medal was one in yachting and the bronze in boxing, giving Argentina half of its medals and 3 out of five of its Olympic Diplomas (something which was usual until the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City).
