===Awal mula===
[[Grand Prix Mobil|Grand Prix]] Italia yang pertama berlangsung pada tanggal 4 September 1921 di sebuah sirkuit sepanjang 10,7 mil (17,3 km) dekat [[Montichiari]].<ref>{{cite book|title=The Racing Driver's Pocket–Book|author=Colin Goodwin|page=9|ISBN=9781844861347}}</ref> Namun, perlombaan ini lebih erat kaitannya dengan lintasan di [[Autodromo Nazionale di Monza|Monza]], sebuah fasilitas balapan di luar kota utara [[Milan]], kota terbesar kedua di negara Italia di wilayah metropolitan terbesar, perekonomiannya ibu kota dan rumah Alfa Romeo. Sirkuit ini secara khusus terletak di [[Monza, Italia|kota pinggiran kota dengan nama yang sama]], yang dibangun pada tahun 1922 tepat pada saat balapan pada tahun itu, dan telah menjadi lokasi sebagian besar balapan selama bertahun-tahun. Monza dibangun di ''Parco di Monza'', sebuah taman kota umum dengan sebagian besar kawasan hutan, di mana [[Royal Villa of Monza]] yang terkenal juga berada.

[[FileBerkas:1971 Italian Grand Prix.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|TheAkhir enddari ofGP 1971 GP.]]
[[1962 Italian Grand Prix|1962]] saw a return to the road circuit only and the banking was never used again for Formula One. It still stands, but in decrepit condition for a long time before being restored in the early 2010s; the last time it was used was in 1969 for the 1000 kilometre sports car race that year. Briton Graham Hill won the race, and won the Drivers' Championship in South Africa soon afterward. [[1963 Italian Grand Prix|1963]] saw an attempted use of the extremely fast full circuit again, and the drivers ran the course during Friday practice but the concrete banking was so rough and bumpy that cars were being mechanically torn apart. It was feared that there would be no finishers for the race itself. Briton Bob Anderson's Lola crashed after losing a wheel on the banking, although he was not injured); the drivers then threatened to walk off unless they raced on the road circuit only, which is what happened. Jim Clark won the race in a Lotus. Ferrari driver [[John Surtees]] won in [[1964 Italian Grand Prix|1964]], and Briton [[Jackie Stewart]] won his first of 27 Grand Prix victories in [[1965 Italian Grand Prix|1965]], driving for BRM. Against team orders, he fought hard with his teammate Graham Hill, Hill made a mistake at the Parabolica and Stewart was in command; this was all to the chagrin of team boss [[Tony Rudd]]. [[1966 Italian Grand Prix|1966]] saw Italian [[Ludovico Scarfiotti]] win, and no other Italian has won the race since. [[1967 Italian Grand Prix|1967]] was to be a race of interest and was to produce the first of three close finishes on the fast Monza circuit over the next four years. Surtees, now driving for Honda, battled with Australian Jack Brabham, and Surtees won the race by two-tenths of a second; and Clark, who had problems at the beginning of the race and lost a whole lap, stormed around the circuit, equalled his pole position time and unlapped himself to take the lead- but his fuel pump broke and he coasted over the line to finish third. [[1969 Italian Grand Prix|1969]] saw four drivers; Stewart, Austrian [[Jochen Rindt]], Frenchman [[Jean-Pierre Beltoise]] and New Zealander [[Bruce McLaren]] battle right down to the line. Stewart came out on top and beat Rindt by eight-hundredths of a second. The four drivers were all within two-tenths of a second of each other. With this win, Stewart won his first of three championships.[[1970 Italian Grand Prix|1970]] saw Rindt's fatal crash during qualifying at the wheel of his rear wing-less Lotus; his car suffered brake shaft failure, veered off the track, hit and went under the improperly-secured guardrail on the left and spun multiple times. Rindt died not because of the impact but because he had not properly secured his seat belts and the buckle had slit his throat. Rindt became the only posthumous world champion, after Ferrari driver [[Jacky Ickx]] failed to overhaul Rindt. Ickx's teammate [[Clay Regazzoni]] won the race, which saw 28 lead changes. [[1971 Italian Grand Prix|1971]] was to see the third close finish in four years. Briton [[Peter Gethin]], Swede [[Ronnie Peterson]], Frenchman [[François Cevert]], Briton [[Mike Hailwood]] and New Zealander [[Howden Ganley]] battled for the lead all race. On the last lap, Peterson got the inside line for the Parabolica, but Gethin got in front going alongside Peterson through the long right-hand corner, and beat Peterson to the checkered flag by the slimmest of margins; one-one hundredth of a second. Cevert and Hailwood finished within two-tenths and Ganley was half a second behind.
[[1972 Italian Grand Prix|1972]] saw changes to Monza. The 1971 race was the fastest Formula One race ever at that point in time. It was really just a bunch of straights and fast corners and F1 cars had become increasingly advanced and much faster, and the drivers were constantly slipstreaming each other around the circuit. A small chicane was put at the end of the pit straight and another one at the Vialone curve; Brazilian [[Emerson Fittipaldi]] won that race and his first Drivers' Championship at only 25 years of age. His chief rival Jackie Stewart went out at the start with a broken gearbox. In [[1973 Italian Grand Prix|1973]], Stewart punctured a tire early in the race and went into the pits to have it changed; he came out in 20th place and finished fourth in the race while Fittipaldi finished second; this was enough for Stewart to win his third and final Drivers' Championship. [[1974 Italian Grand Prix|1974]] saw further changes with the Vialone chicane changed and renamed Variante Ascari, which was the place where Alberto Ascari was killed in 1955 testing a Ferrari sportscar. Like the year before, Peterson won and Fittipaldi finished second, now driving for McLaren. [[1975 Italian Grand Prix|1975]], however, was an event to remember. Ferrari, which had regrouped completely under the leadership of [[Luca Cordero di Montezemolo|Luca di Montezemolo]], reached the high point of its resurgence.
[[FileBerkas:1975 Italian GP race start - Niki Lauda & Clay Regazzoni (Ferrari 312T).jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|leftkiri|1975Start balapan GP race start1975.]]
The Ferrari camp was feeling relaxed while rising star and championship leader [[Niki Lauda]] was leading the Drivers' Championship, and the team was leading the Constructors' Championship. Fittipaldi and Argentine [[Carlos Reutemann]] had to win in order to have a chance at staying in the championship chase. When the race started, Lauda's teammate Clay Regazzoni took the lead, with Lauda following; and Fittipaldi stormed round the circuit in an effort to catch the two Ferraris. Fittipaldi passed Lauda for second but this did not matter as Lauda only needed fifth to secure the drivers' title. Regazzoni took victory, followed by Fittipaldi and Lauda, who won his first drivers' title and Ferrari also won the Constructors' Championship at the same event. [[1976 Italian Grand Prix|1976]] saw further changes to Monza's layout. Two chicanes, called Variante Rettifilo were installed just before the Curva Grande, and another chicane, the Variante della Roggia, was installed just before the Lesmo bends. Lauda, who had come back to racing only six weeks after his horrendous crash at the Nürburgring; finished fourth while Peterson won. [[1977 Italian Grand Prix|1977]] saw Italian-American [[Mario Andretti]] win in a Lotus; but the next year's race was to add another page of tragedy to Monza's history.
Peterson had re-joined Lotus at the beginning of the 1978 season and had challenged his teammate Andretti all the way. Peterson had crashed his car in practice, and had to use Andretti's spare car, not a comfortable fit for the tall Swede, in contrast to the diminutive American. As the race started, there was a huge, fiery multi-car pile-up on the approach to the first corner. One of the victims was Peterson; his car slammed head-on into the Armco barriers and had caught fire. Instead of the ill-equipped marshals, Briton [[James Hunt]], with the help of Frenchman [[Patrick Depailler]] and Regazzoni ran towards Peterson's aid and pulled him out of the burning Lotus. Peterson suffered severe leg injuries, and he died from embolism complications a day later. With Peterson's retirement from the race, Andretti won the Drivers' Championship. The race itself was an interesting one; during the parade lap South African [[Jody Scheckter]] lost a wheel from his Wolf at the second Lesmo curve and hit an Armco barrier right next to the track. Andretti, Hunt, Lauda, Fittipaldi and Reutemann went to inspect the damage, and they refused to start until it had been repaired; and it was repaired in time; although the race started well after it was supposed to. The cars were shown the green light while the back half of the field was still in motion (this often happened at Monza and it had happened during the first start); and due to the visible excitement of the start official Andretti and Canadian [[Gilles Villeneuve]] jumped the start and were penalised a minute; Lauda went on to take victory in his Alfa-powered Brabham in a shortened race distance; it was getting dark by the time the checkered flag was shown to the Austrian driver. [[1979 Italian Grand Prix|1979]] saw changes to Monza, run off areas were added to the Curva Grande and Lesmo corners and the track was upgraded. Scheckter, now driving for Ferrari, won the race and the Drivers' Championship.
===Imola 1980 anddan pembangunan ulang Monza's furtherlebih redevelopmentslanjut===
In 1979, it was announced that the Autodromo Dino Ferrari, also known as Imola, would host the Italian Grand Prix for [[1980 Italian Grand Prix|1980]] while Monza underwent a major upgrade, including building a new pit complex. The Imola circuit had been used for a non-championship event in 1979 and had hosted a variety of non-championship races since 1953; this circuit was closer to the Ferrari factory in Maranello. Imola's one-time running of the Italian GP was won by Brazilian [[Nelson Piquet]] after the two turbo Renaults of [[Jean-Pierre Jabouille]] and [[René Arnoux]] retired.
[[FileBerkas:Podium GP de Monza 1995.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|TheUpacara seremonial podium ceremonydi at theGP 1995 GP.]]
The Italian Grand Prix returned to Monza for 1981, and it has stayed there ever since. The Imola circuit was not to leave Formula One, it hosted the [[San Marino Grand Prix]] from 1981 to 2006. The 1981 Italian Grand Prix was won by rising star [[Alain Prost]], and that race saw Briton [[John Watson (racing driver)|John Watson]] have a huge accident at the second Lesmo Curve which also took out Italian Michele Alboreto. Watson was uninjured in his carbon-fibre McLaren. 1982 was won by Prost's teammate René Arnoux; and Prost also won the exciting 1985 event, this time driving a McLaren.
In response to the Imola tragedies in 1994, the second Lesmo curve was slowed down but the race risked being canceled due to the bureaucratic and environmental difficulties of modifying the track. Other changes were made in 1995 at ''Curva Grande'', ''Variante della Roggia'' and both Lesmo Corners, which were anticipated for to create wider runoff areas. 1996 saw Michael Schumacher win for Ferrari, and 1999 saw championship leader Mika Hakkinen crash and the Finn, false to temperament, went behind a few bushes in the circuit and broke down crying. 2000 saw further changes to the circuit, which have stayed since; the Variante Rettifilo was made into a two corner sequence instead of a three corner sequence. The race that year started off tragically, as an accident during the start at the Variante della Roggia resulted in a marshal being struck in the head and chest by a loose wheel from German [[Heinz-Harald Frentzen]]'s Jordan. 33-year-old [[Paolo Gislimberti]] was given a heart massage at the scene, but later died from his injuries. On a more positive note, the decade also started off with a romp of Ferrari victories, winning in 2000 and 2002–2004.
[[FileBerkas:Tifosi podio Monza 2011.jpg|thumb|upright=1.3|leftkiri|TheInvasi fans'dari invasionpara atpenggemar thesetelah endberakhirnya ofGP 2011 GP.]]
After winning the [[2006 Italian Grand Prix]], [[Michael Schumacher]] announced his retirement from Formula 1 racing at the end of the 2006 season. [[Kimi Räikkönen]] replaced him at Ferrari from the start of the 2007 season. At the [[2008 Italian Grand Prix]], [[Sebastian Vettel]] became the youngest driver in history to win a Formula One Grand Prix. Aged 21 years and 74 days, Vettel broke the record set by [[Fernando Alonso]] at the [[2003 Hungarian Grand Prix]] by 317 days as he won in wet conditions at Monza.
