The capocannoniere award (; ), known as Paolo Rossi Award since 2021, is awarded by the Italian Footballers' Association (AIC) to the highest goalscorer of each season in Italy's Serie A. From the 2010âÂÂ11 season until the change of denomination, it was called the AIC Award to the Top Scorer (Italian: Premio AIC al Capocannoniere in Italian). The award is currently held by Mateo Retegui, who scored 25 goals for Atalanta in the 2024âÂÂ25 season.
