The present system of race grading was introduced in the early 1970s, and for a period the St. Leger Italiano held Group 2 status. It was relegated to Group 3 level in 1988, and from this point it was contested over 2,900 metres at Turin. For several years it was held in July.

The race was opened to older horses and rescheduled for the autumn in 1994. It was later downgraded to Listed level, and it began its current spell at Milan in 2002. It regained Group 3 status in 2010.
