Serie A champions Inter will begin the new season with a trip to Bologna, it was announced last night following the official draw for the 2010/2011 fixtures.

Last season’s runners-up Roma begin at home to newly-promoted Cesena while Inter’s city rivals Milan host another promoted side in Lecce.

Juventus begin with a trip down south to Bari while Fiorentina host Napoli. New Juve coach Gigi del Neri faces his former Sampdoria players in the second round on September 12.

The first big clash of the season will be in the fifth week, on September 26, when Roma host Inter while the champions will entertain Juventus the week after on October 3.

There will be rest weekends on September 5, October 10 and March 27, plus midweek rounds on September 22, November 10, January 6 and February 2.

The Christmas break lasts from December 19 to January 6.

The season kicks off on August 28, although Inter’s first match will be on August 30 due to their participation in the European Super Cup.
