Inter will begin the defence of their Serie A title with a trip to face Bologna on the opening day of the 2010-11 season.

Bologna, who finished 17th last term, should provide new Inter boss Rafael Benitez with a relatively straightforward introduction to life in Italy's top flight when the campaign gets under way on the weekend of August 28.

Inter face testing fixtures at Roma and at home to Juventus in the fifth and sixth round of games respectively.

Roma, who pushed Inter all the way last season, kick off at home to Siena while new AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri begins his reign at home to newly-promoted Lecce.

Luigi Del Neri's bid to revive Juventus' fortunes after their seventh-placed finish last term will travel to Bari with Sinisa Mihajlovic's tenure as Fiorentina boss starts at home to Napoli.

Palermo, one of last season's surprise packages, host Cagliari with Catania hosting Chievo.

Parma travel to face Brescia with Lazio heading to Sampdoria and Udinese meeting Genoa in the weekend's other games.

The season's Milan derbies will take place on November 14 and April 3.
