Italy achieved their most profitable Six Nations by beating Wales in Cardiff and handed their hosts the wood spoon for the primary time in 21 years.
A attempt from wing Monty Ioane and two Paulo Garbisi penalties gave Italy an 11–0 lead at half-time.
Full-back Lorenzo Pani scored brilliantly from Garbisi and Martin Web page-Rello's penalty kicks.
Wales responded with tries from Elliot Dee, Will Rowlands and Mason Grady to make the rating one thing respectable.
The three-point margin of defeat left Wales disenchanted and Italy's victory ensured a repeat of the 2022 victory in Cardiff.
It was a tragic finish to George North's Wales profession as he was helped off the sphere within the ultimate phases of his ultimate Check after saying his worldwide retirement.
Extra to comply with.
