Il magico mondo di Gigi (also known as Benvenuta Gigì in reruns from the 90's to 2007 and Gigì, la principessa dei sogni in reruns from 2020 onwards) is the Italian dub of 魔法のプリンセス ミンキーモモ. It has previously aired on Rete 4, Euro TV, Italia 1, Italia Teen Television, Boing and CaféTV24; it is available on YouTube.
The first half was dubbed by Sinc Cinematografica for licensors Polivision Film and Harmony Gold, being based on the latter's English dub, with that studio dubbing the first 52 episodes of the series. In the early 90s, the remaining 11 episodes were dubbed for Mediaset by Studio P.V. with a different voice cast, but retaining the translated versions of the names created by Harmony Gold for the characters.

- This dub's original theme song, composed by Haim Saban, Shuki Levy and Ciro Dammicco and sung by the Sorrisi group, was also adapted into an unused theme for the French dub.[1]
