Bill Dixon in Italy Volume Two is an album by American jazz trumpeter Bill Dixon, recorded in Milan in 1980 and released on the Italian Soul Note label.[1] The album resulted after producer Giovanni Bonandrini was so impressed by Dixon's sextet he requested them to record two albums instead of the single one that was planned.[2]

In his review for AllMusic, Ron Wynn stated: "A rare date from a distinctive trumpeter whose approach, clarity of tone, and directness set him apart in the '60s."[3]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings noted that the album is "very much in the [Cecil] Taylor line," and wrote: "Dixon doesn't feature himself that prominently, preferring to spread much of the higher voicing round the three-trumpet front line."[5]
