19 of Medvedev's twenty-one victories have been won on hardcourt
A comeback Daniil Medvedev won his first title for 882 days with a win over opponent Moutet in the competition final.
The Russian, a ex- world number one, has experienced a torrid period, achieving just one match at the Grand Slams and suffering a setback at the US Open.
The player's unpredictability on the professional circuit - and difficulties with his service game in especial - led to him dropping out of the elite rankings and ultimately splitting with long-time trainer Cervara.
Presently training with his coach and Rohan Goetzke, he has gradually advanced in the last few weeks - peaking in a tightly fought three-set triumph over challenger Moutet.
It is the player's initial championship following the Italian tournament and maiden on a hard surface from spring of the previous year.
The win also signifies Medvedev has won twenty-one titles at twenty-one various tournaments.
"For the first time I'm at a event with my two daughters together, so to win a title is really nice," said ranked player Daniil Medvedev.
"This victory is in dedication of my second daughter Victoria, because the initial championship I got when my first daughter Alisa was born was for her."
Medvedev, the 2021 US Open champion, had been defeated in his previous six finals, including in that event in the past months.
Medvedev's defensive play style and regular outbursts on the playing surface had led commentators to wonder if his capacity to play at the top level was finished.
But the player has implemented adjustments in the past month, attempting to approach the net and compete positively, supported by an improved serve.
He fought back from a deficit in the first set against the challenging Moutet, securing four of the last five exchanges to take the lead.
Both players exchanged break points in the following set before the Frenchman, attempting for his initial ATP Tour victory, seized the initiative to push for a decider.
The opponent defended four early-game chances in a tight third set before the champion secured a break to fifteen to secure the win.
Suitably, the winner earned the win with a rally at the net area, with the Frenchman failing to handle a return after two hours and 38 minutes.
