Italy is located in the Mediterranean coast of Southern Europe，but as a traditional Western power，it is a country that explored the Arctic earlier. At the end of 2015，in order to inherit the historical traditions of Arctic expedition and cope with the development of Arctic situation，Italian government introduced the “Towards an Italian strategy for the Arctic-National Guidelines”，marking the Arctic issue officially becoming its national strategy. Italy’s interests in the Arctic include highlighting and enhancing international influence，recognizing and responding to climate and environmental issues，maintaining its position in the Arctic research，and seizing the opportunity for the Arctic development，it adopt several measures，such as valuing the role of Arctic Council，taking action within EU framework，strengthening of domestic forces integration and promoting sustainable development. However，affected by the ruling party’s replacement，economic crisis，Mediterranean situation and Arctic militarization，Italian Arctic strategy’s implementation faces some obstacles and needs further attention.
