Fabio Quagliarella became the oldest goalscorer in Italy's history when he netted in their Euro 2020 qualifier against Liechtenstein.
Aged 36 years and 54 days old, the Sampdoria forward scored a 35th-minute penalty in Tuesday's match in Parma, putting Roberto Mancini's side 3-0 up.
The veteran added a second spot-kick in first-half stoppage time as Italy extended their lead.
The game saw Quagliarella make his first competitive international start since a World Cup qualifier against Cyprus in October 2009.
Quagliarella is the top scorer in Serie A this season, having netted 21 goals.
