- Oscar Piastri hit with three-place grid penalty after impeding in qualifying for Italian Grand Prix
Oscar Piastri crossed the line in third but was later handed a three-place grid penalty after impeding Red Bull's Liam Lawson in the final qualifying session.
This means that Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton move up to fourth and fifth respectively.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen starts in fifth and Piastri will be in sixth.
This is Alpine's first pole position and the first for Gasly during his career. He took his maiden victory at this track six years ago, and has now set himself up to take his second grand prix win here.
"Monza is a bit of a unique track," he added. "We know it, but, I mean, no, it definitely exceeded all our expectations. But since this morning, I think the pace has been better. We managed to make a good step, you know, from P3 to quali, and I think slightly bigger than the other guys around us.
"Yeah, straight from Q1, you know, we were a bit surprised to see us up there, as in mind, you know, our target was Q3. But then I think I was P1 in Q1, then P4 in Q2. I didn't want to get too excited, but then first run in Q3, I think I was third again and then I felt, 'Okay, I really have a shot at it.'
"And as I said, it's probably the first time I really get a true chance and, yeah, I tried to leave everything I had out there. It was quite hectic through Ascari and Parabolica. I don't think there was definitely much in there and, crossing the line, I knew it would be one of these laps that would be rewarded, but to the point to get the pole position, I didn't expect that."
