Wiki says:

Italy has withdrawn from Eurovision a number of times. The first withdrawal was in 1981, when RAI stated that interest had diminished in the country.[1] This absence continued through the following year, before Italy returned in 1983.

Italy again withdrew in 1986 when RAI decided not to enter the contest.

From 1994 to 1996 Italy withdrew again, with RAI citing a lack of interest in participating. Italy returned in 1997, before withdrawing again without giving any reason.
