The victory allowed the Azzurri to climb to the top of group A1, level on ten points with Les Blues, while Belgium follow with nine.
France took an early lead through Michael Olise after just 10 minutes, capitalising on a misplaced pass from Gianluigi Donnarumma. However, Italy responded emphatically, with Pio Esposito restoring parity before half-time.
The second half saw further drama, as Rayan Cherki struck the post before Sebastiano Esposito missed a penalty. Davide Frattesi then put the Azzurri ahead, finishing off a move created by Federico Dimarco, before Pio Esposito converted from the spot to complete the 3-1 triumph.
