Led by Manchester City's former coach Roberto Mancini, Italy won all three matches without conceding a goal and are unbeaten in their last 30 games.
The team, led by captain Giorgio Chiellini, will meet Austria, runners-up in Group C, on Saturday at Wembley.
In 2016 Italy were knocked out by Germany in the quarterfinals, losing 6-5 on penalties, after reaching the final in 2012, losing 4-0 to Spain.

The Netherlands have taken part in nine previous European Championships and were crowned champions in 1988. They reached the semifinals in 1992, 2000 and 2004. However, they lost all three of their group games in 2012 and failed to qualify for the 2016 edition.

PORTUGAL
Reigning European champions Portugal squeezed into the last 16 as one of the best third-placed sides following a 2-2 draw with France in their final Group F encounter. Cristiano Ronaldo has already netted five goals, moving past France's Michel Platini as the record goalscorer at European Championship finals, and has matched Iran's Ali Daei as the most prolific international marksman ever with 109 goals.
Portugal, who finished level on four points with second-placed Germany and a point behind group winners France, will take on Belgium on Sunday in Seville.
Portugal, who have participated in seven European Championships, ended their long wait for a major title by defeating France 1-0 after extra time in the 2016 final.

SWEDEN
Sweden won Group E to reach the last 16, ensuring top spot after a stoppage-time goal gave them a 3-2 win over Poland on Wednesday. Midfielder Emil Forsberg, who scored three in the group stage, will likely provide Sweden's goal threat when they face Ukraine in Glasgow on Tuesday.
After a third-placed finish in the 1992 tournament, Sweden failed to qualify in 1996 and only went past the group stage on one other occasion in 2004 when they reached the quarters.

Sweden 1-0 Slovakia
Sweden 3-2 Poland
William Hill odds to win tournament: 50-1

William Hill odds to win tournament: 100-1

Wales ended a nearly 60-year wait to play in a major tournament by qualifying for Euro 2016 where they proved to be a surprise package, reaching the semifinal, where they lost to eventual champions Portugal.
