Gold-medal winning shooter Diana Bacosi has said that it was "real fun" to compete in the mixed team skeet event at the European Games in Baku.
The 31-year-old, who also won silver in the women's skeet, secured the gold alongside Valerio Luchini earlier today.
Bacosi told reporters: "This team event has been a very nice experiment. It's been real fun. It's also been very exciting because I've never participated in this kind of competition and it's good to feel part of a team.
"Today the wind was terrible. It was really incredible because the targets had their own way to fly, but we fought really well and we eventually made it.
"It's been a very good experience for me. But not only for me, the whole Italian shooting team collected a lot of medals in our sport as usual. We're always the strongest ones. Behind all our successes there is hard work and tough training, not only individual but also as a real team."
Italy currently sit 10th in the medal table, with nine of their 17 medals coming from shooting.
