The event was formerly known as the Premio Melton, and it held Group 3 status for a period in the 1970s. It was promoted to Group 2 level in 1979.

The Premio Melton was subtitled the Memorial Tudini during the 1990s. It was relegated back to Group 3 status in 1996. It was run as the Premio Tudini Piero e Ugo in the early 2000s, and it subsequently became the Premio Tudini.

The Premio Tudini is currently staged at the same meeting as the Derby Italiano.
