Wales suffered their seventh successive home defeat in the Guinness Six Nations as they ended their 2024 campaign with the dreaded Wooden Spoon - despite a try from Dragons RFC hooker Elliot Dee.
A try from wing Monty Ioane and two Paulo Garbisi penalties gave Italy an 11-0 half-time lead.
Full-back Lorenzo Pani added a brilliant score with Garbisi and Martin Page-Relo kicking penalties.
Wales responded with tries from Dee, former Dragon Will Rowlands and Mason Grady to give the score some respectability.
Dee and club team-mates Aaron Wainwright and Rio Dyer all started the clash in the Welsh capital.
