Serie A has witnessed some extraordinary strikers throughout the years, and the current Italian top-flight is no exception. Among the talent on display, there is one record that stands above all – the most goals scored in a single Serie A season. Players like Victor Osimhen, Lautaro Martinez, Dusan Vlahovic, and many more aspire to break this prestigious record. So, who holds this remarkable feat and which club did they play for?

A Shared Record for Superb Stars
Incredibly, this record is held by not one, but two players. If we tweak the wording slightly, it can even be expanded to three. First, Gino Rossetti scored an astonishing 36 goals for Torino in the 1928/29 season. This achievement dates back to the time just before the official inception of Serie A with its round-robin system.
