Controversies, upsets and plenty of goals featured.
Click on to view the winners and losers from across the peninsula.
Winners: Juventus
1 of 7
Champions of Italy for the last three years running, Juventus will now be hot favourites to make it four in a row after seeing off their closest rivals Roma 3-2 on Sunday.
There was enough excitement for a match of this stature, with the result only decided by a late Leonardo Bonucci screamer from the edge of the area.
Earlier, Carlos Tevez had converted two controversial penalties, but Roma had led 2-1 at one stage following a Francesco Totti penalty and Juan Iturbe strike.
Juve will take some catching in the league now, even with the vast majority of the season remaining.
Losers: Francesco Totti, Match Officials and Roma
2 of 7
Something had to give when the two sides in Serie A with perfect records, Roma and Juventus, met in Turin on Sunday.
Unfortunately for Roma, they dropped their first points of the campaign thanks to Bonucci's late winner.
According to Totti, however, referee Gianluca Rocchi and his assistants had a huge influence on the result.
Two penalties were awarded to the Old Lady and duly put away by Tevez, and Bonucci's goal could have been disallowed due to the fact that Arturo Vidal was most likely involved in the play from an offside position, which affected Roma goalkeeper Lukasz Skorupski.
Here's what the Giallorossi captain told Sky Sport Italia after the game, via Mark Doyle of Goal.com:
"We came here to play and the performance was good, but what happened [with the referee] conditioned the game.
It's terrible to have to say it but these things that affect the game have been happening for years.
Juventus certainly didn't beat us. There were three incidents that changed a game that we wanted to win.
There's a lot of anger but we must lift our heads after a game like this.
I've always said it: they should play in their own league. They always win by hook or by crook. We train to win but then these things happen.

Winners: Khouma Babacar, Juan Cuadrado and Fiorentina
3 of 7
Two candidates for goal of the week were scored within 12 minutes of each other as Fiorentina smashed Inter 3-0 at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday.
Juan Cuadrado's delightful first-half strike from outside the area would normally have been good enough to be the declared the finest of the round, but unfortunately for the Colombian he had already been outdone moments earlier by Khouma Babacar.
The Senegalese hitman scored an absolute scorcher from the edge of the box after creating the fraction of space for himself that he needed.
Nenad Tomovic, one of the best on the park, finished the rout in the second half as the Florence club leap-frogged their opponents to move into ninth on the Serie A table.
Losers: Torino
4 of 7
Torino have had a fairly tough time of it so far this season so they certainly could have done without having their lead overturned at the Stadio San Paolo and heading home with zero points in the bag.
Hosts Napoli struck twice in the second half through Lorenzo Insigne and Jose Callejon to overhaul the Turin side, who had gone ahead courtesy of local boy Fabio Quagliarella.
Torino finished an impressive seventh in 2013-14 but it looks like they will struggle to repeat that feat this time around.
Winners: Lazio
5 of 7
A 3-2 victory over cellar-dwellers Sassuolo might not seem all that impressive, but following on from the convincing 4-0 win over Palermo it was a result that capped an excellent week for Lazio.
The Romans were done scoring by the 36th minute at the Stadio Olimpico, with Stefano Mauri, Filip Djordjevic and Andrea Candreva finding the net, but that was enough to see them home as the visitors could only manage two goals, both of which were scored by rising star Domenico Berardi.
A player from each side was sent off in this all-action affair, and Lazio coach Stefano Pioli will be thrilled to come away with the win considering he was missing Lucas Biglia, Santiago Gentiletti, Stefan Radu, Alvaro Gonzalez and Dusan Basta.
The Biancoceleste's points haul this week has seen them jump to eighth in the ladder after a poor start to the season.
Loser: Walter Mazzarri
6 of 7
Before Round 5, Inter had only conceded one goal in Serie A. Now they have an "8" in the against column.
An awful display against Cagliari in their 4-1 loss was followed up with a completely lifeless performance in Florence against Fiorentina.
All three of La Viola's goals were quite spectacular, but that is no excuse for a side that was set up reasonably defensively.
Walter Mazzarri must be starting to worry about his job security at this point as the positive atmosphere around the side is evaporating quickly.
Winner: Alessandro Matri
7 of 7
Veteran striker Alessandro Matri has undergone something of a rejuvenation at Genoa.
The former Fiorentina, Milan and Juventus man only scored five goals over the last two seasons, but he has already hit three in this campaign, none more important than his strike deep into stoppage time that saw his team defeat Parma 2-1.
Matri finished a slick counter-attacking move with a well-taken goal that will allow Genoa fans to forget about their painful derby loss to Sampdoria last week, for a little while at least.
