The Lombardia Trophy is an annual figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Italian Ice Sports Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Sport del Ghiaccio).[1] The competition debuted in 2008 in Sesto San Giovanni, and when the ISU launched the Challenger Series in 2014, the Lombardia Trophy was one of the inaugural competitions. The event is dedicated to the memory of Anna Grandolfi, the founder of Sesto Ice Skate, who died in 2015.

History
The inaugural edition of the Lombardia Trophy was held in 2008 in Sesto San Giovanni. Originally, it only featured events in men's and women's singles. The Lombardia Trophy is dedicated in memory of Anna Grandolfi, who founded the Sesto Ice Skate skating club in 2001 and served as the club's president for fifteen years, before she died in 2015.[2] From 2013 to 2015, the competition was held in Sesto San Giovanni; since 2016, it has been held in Bergamo.[3]
The ISU Challenger Series was introduced in 2014. It is a series of international figure skating competitions sanctioned by the International Skating Union and organized by ISU member nations. The objective is to ensure consistent organization and structure within a series of international competitions linked together, providing opportunities for senior-level skaters to compete at the international level and also earn ISU World Standing points.[4] When an event is held as part of the Challenger Series, it must host at least three of the four disciplines (men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance) and representatives from at least ten different ISU member nations. The minimum number of entrants required for each discipline are eight skaters each in men's singles and women's singles, five teams in pair skating, and six teams in ice dance. Each ISU member nation is eligible to enter up to three skaters or teams per discipline in each competition, although the Italian Ice Sports Federation may enter an unlimited number of entrants in their own event.[5] The Lombardia Trophy was a Challenger Series event in 2014, from 2016 through 2019, and from 2021 through 2025.[3] No competition was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, although it had already been left off the slate of competitions for the 2020–21 ISU Challenger Series.[6]
