The event was originally called the Premio Legnano, and for a period it held Group 2 status. It was formerly open to fillies and mares aged three or older. It was subtitled the Memorial Mario Incisa della Rocchetta following the death of the prominent racehorse owner in 1983. It was downgraded to Group 3 level in the late 1980s.
The distance of the race was cut from 2,000 to 1,600 metres in 1995. It was extended to 2,400 metres in 1997. The event became known as the Premio Mario Incisa in the early 2000s. It was shortened to 2,000 metres and restricted to three-year-old fillies in 2005. From this point it was usually titled the Premio Mario Incisa della Rocchetta.
