The Premio Federico Tesio is a Group 2 flat horse race in Italy open to thoroughbreds aged three years or older. It is run at Milan over a distance of 2,200 metres (about 1 mile and 3 furlongs), and it is scheduled to take place each year in September.

History

The event is named after Federico Tesio (1869–1954), one of the most successful horse breeders in the sport's history.

The race was given Group 2 status in the 1970s. It was cut from 2,200 to 1,800 metres in 1985. It was relegated to Group 3 and restored to 2,200 metres in 1988.
