The Italy women's national water polo team represents Italy in international women's water polo competitions and friendly matches. The team is one of the leading teams in Europe since the mid-1990s, claiming the title at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The squad is nicknamed the "Setterosa" (lit. 'Pink Seven', a pun on Settebello, the nickname of the male team).
