My Little Pony - L'amicizia è magica is the Italian dub of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Produced by Logos s.r.l., it initially ran on Italia 1 in Italy from August 29 to November 8, 2011, for one season. The dub was given an opening theme different to the original, performed by Susanna Balbarani. Like the Croatian HRT 2 dub, episodes were also split in two halves with two titles, and the second half of each episode would air on the succeeding day. This was the only season to air on the channel.
On December 5, 2011, the season began airing on Cartoonito, with the episodes instead being broadcast fully. The second season, now dubbed by SDI Media Italia from that point onwards, premiered on Boomerang on October 13, 2012; The opening theme was changed to a dub of the original. With the exception of that season, and the last 13 episodes of the fourth season, all episode premieres since then took place on Cartoonito. The dub completed its original run on December 21, 2019.
The dub is available on Netflix. Various DVDs of the dub were released in Italy by the distributor Clear Vision. On March 15, 2021, the official Italian My Little Pony YouTube channel began uploading full episodes of this dub.[1]

Censorship[]
- The episode "The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" was not broadcast on TV, most likely due to the translators translating "cider" directly and to remove references to alcohol in the show. Despite this, the episode is available on DVD and on Netflix, and the Italian version of "The Flim Flam Cider Song" is available on Hasbro Studios Shorts' YouTube channel.
- In Bats!, the following lines and scenes are all cut from broadcast, most likely due to the translators translating "cider" directly:
- Rainbow Dash: What about the cider? There was still cider, right?
Applejack: Not. A. Drop.
Rainbow Dash: No cider?! No cider?! - Rainbow Dash: Think of the cider! Won't somepony please think of the cider?!
- Rainbow Dash: First round of cider's on me!
- Applejack: Yee-haw!
Rainbow Dash: We'll be drinking cider all winter long!
Applejack: I wanna thank you for your help. - Rainbow Dash: Does that mean what I think it means?
Applejack: Yup! More cider too.
- Rainbow Dash: What about the cider? There was still cider, right?

Notes[]
- The first opening theme was featured on the 2011 album Le sigle originali dei cartoni animati di Italia 1.
- In DVD and digital releases of season 1, the original composition of the theme song is replaced with a dub of the original.
- In the episode "Discordant Harmony", the female owner of the tea shop is changed into a male.
- Translations
- Cutie marks are often called "Simboli di bellezza" in season 1. In later seasons, the English name is used.
- "The Great and Powerful Trixie" is translated as "La grande e formidabile Trixie" in season 1, but later seasons change it to "La grande e potente Trixie".
- Changelings are called "Mutanti".
- Starting from season 5, Spitfire is translated as "Saetta".
- Usually, this dub translates puns literally, causing some gags to not make sense. An exception happens in the episode "Inspiration Manifestation", where Spike is angry at Owlowiscious, and he says "Hey you! Stop being such an owl and help me!", with "Being an owl" being Italian slang for "bringing bad luck".
