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 2010–11 season until the change of denomination, it was called the AIC Award to the Top Scorer (Italian language: Premio AIC al Capocannoniere in Italian). The award is currently held by Mateo Retegui, who scored 25 goals for Atalanta BC in the 2024–25 season.
The highest number of goals scored to win the Capocannoniere is 37, by Luigi Cevenini for Inter Milan. Gino Rossetti, Gonzalo Higuaín and Ciro Immobile are in joint second place for this record; they each scored 36 goals for Torino FC, SSC Napoli and SS Lazio respectively.
Gunnar Nordahl of AC Milan has won the title of capocannoniere five times: 1949–50, 1950–51, 1952–53, 1953–54 and 1954–55, more than any other player in the history of Italian championship.
