Last Updated: 25/11/19 7:56am
The Red Roses ran in ten tries to end their November Tests series with a 60-3 win over Italy.
Italy finished runners-up to Six Nations champions England earlier this year, but had no answer to the forward power of Simon Middleton's team.
Vicky Fleetwood, Poppy Cleall and Heather Kerr all profited from driving mauls as England carved out an early 17-3 lead, Michela Sillari replying with a penalty for Italy.
Abby Dow extended England's lead before half-time and world player of the year Emily Scarratt raced through after slick play from Natasha Hunt and Zoe Harrison.
Italy were reduced to 14 players by Lucia Cammarano's yellow card before Kerr's second score, one from replacement Amy Cokayne and a penalty try took England to the 50-point mark.
Rownita Marston and Sarah Bern finished off the scoring as England completed a 17th successive victory on home soil.
