On day two of competition, 3 November, Lamberti made it three-for-three setting his third Italian record in the 50-metre backstroke in the third stage of competition, the final, with a time of 22.65 seconds, which earned him the silver medal in the event.[11][13][14] He won the silver medal in his second event of the same finals session, the 100-metre butterfly, with a time of 49.79 seconds.[14][15] In his third and final event of the session, Lamberti earned his first gold medal and set a Championships record and world record of 1:30.14 in the 4×50-metre medley relay with relay teammates Nicolò Martinenghi (breaststroke), Marco Orsi (butterfly), and Lorenzo Zazzeri (freestyle).[16][17][18] Lamberti was the only person on the relay to lower the world record split for their stroke by more than two tenths of a second and he also set his fourth Italian record in the 50-metre backstroke with his lead-off time of 22.62 seconds.[14]

The third day, Lamberti swam a personal best time of 50.86 seconds in the prelims heats of the 100 metre backstroke, ranked seventh overall, and did not advance to the semifinals as he was not one of the two fastest Italians in the event.[19] Fourth day of competition, a similar situation arose, Lamberti swam a personal best time of 22.81 seconds in the 50-metre butterfly prelims heats, ranking behind Italians Matteo Rivolta and Thomas Ceccon and thus not advancing to the semifinals even though he ranked twelfth overall.[20] Day five, he advanced to the semifinals of the 200-metre backstroke with a time of 1:54.45 in the prelims heats, which ranked him ninth amongst semifinals qualifiers and eleventh overall.[21] In the semifinals, he dropped almost two and a half seconds off his prelims time, swimming a 1:52.01 and advancing the final.[22][23]
