The Italy Collection

All collections

The Italy Collection released in November 2013, one of the original map collections. It is a cheap, nostalgic set topped by the AWP Pit Viper, with the Glock-18 Candy Apple among its finishes.

Almost everything here is worth pennies, except the Souvenir copies from the very first Majors.

Skins by rarity

The original Italy map collection, available in normal and Souvenir form, topped by a Restricted AWP.

The rare item: AWP Pit Viper

The Pit Viper is a snakeskin-patterned hydrographic across the AWP, replicating the scale texture of a viper. In plain form it is inexpensive, but its value comes from provenance: it dropped only from the DreamHack 2013 and EMS One Katowice 2014 packages, among the first Souvenir distributions in CS, so early Souvenir copies carry real historical weight.

"The Italy collection is cheap nostalgia. A DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Pit Viper is first-generation CS history."

Where the skins come from

The Italy Collection dropped as normal skins from the early map pool and as Souvenir items from the DreamHack 2013 Souvenir Package and the EMS One Katowice 2014 package. Compare live prices on our markets page.

Trade-up contracts

Ten same-rarity skins from this collection can be traded up toward the tier above, and since the May 2026 update Souvenir skins can be used in trade-ups too. As a map collection there is no knife or glove craft, and the expected value is negative.

As a collector item

Italy is a nostalgia collection more than an investment. The plain skins are worth pennies, but Souvenir copies from the earliest Majors, especially DreamHack 2013, are scarce first-generation collector pieces. Value here is about provenance, not the finish.
