Schedule 13D"), filed by Pirelli S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws
of the Republic of Italy ("Pirelli"), and, commencing with Amendment No. 1

of Italy (the "Purchaser"), with respect to the ordinary shares, euro 0.55 par
value per share, of Telecom Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws
of the Republic of Italy. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without

                  Pirelli, the Purchaser, Edizione Holding, UCI and BCI are
members of a group with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares. This Amendment
constitutes a separate filing on Schedule 13D by Pirelli and the Purchaser in

Pirelli and the Purchaser are responsible solely for the information contained
in their separate filing, except that information contained in the Statement on
Schedule 13D concerning any director or officer of the Purchaser nominated by
Edizione Holding, UCI or BCI has been provided by the nominating person.

Mr. Francesco Gori was appointed General Manager, Tyres Sector of Pirelli (and
Mr. Giovanni Ferrario, who was reported in Amendment No. 6 to the Statement on
Schedule 13D to have held that position, was appointed General Manager of
Pirelli). In addition, on September 10, 2001, Mr. Claudio De Conto was appointed

forth on Schedule 1.

                  During the past five years, to the knowledge of the Purchaser

misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
