Italy coach Cesare Prandelli has included eight uncapped players in his squad for next week's friendly against England.
Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy is among those given the chance of winning a first cap in the friendly match in the Swiss capital Berne on Wednesday.
His fellow teenagers Mattia De Sciglio and Mattia Perin have also been named in the party as well as 20-year-old Manolo Gabbiadini and Andrea Poli, 22.
Francesco Acerbi, Andrea Consigli and Federico Peluso are the other uncapped players in the 22-man squad.
Serie A champions Juventus and Cup winners Napoli meet in the Italian Super Cup in Beijing on Saturday so their players were unavailable for selection.

Italy went on to reach the final but lost 4-0 to Spain.
