Luca Sperandio comes into the Italy team to face New Zealand as the only change to the side for the clash in Rome.
The Benetton Rugby winger replaces the injured Mattia Bellini, scorer of Italy’s only try in defeat to Australia last time out.
Sperandio, 22, started the victory over Georgia a fortnight ago and now comes onto the wing in an all-Benetton back three featuring Jayden Hayward and Tommaso Benvenuti.
Tito Tebaldi and Tommaso Allan continue as the half-back pairing while Leonardo Ghiraldini will lead the side once again.
And ahead of the clash with the All Blacks, beaten by Ireland a week ago in Dublin, Conor O’Shea is well-aware of the task awaiting his team.
He said: “We’re expecting a big challenge against the current world champions. We need to have the same approach on the field we had against Australia.
“We want to end the November Tests on a good performance, playing our best rugby.”
There is also one change to the Italian bench, with Edoardo Padovani stepping in for Carlo Canna.
