Chievo will play Torino and Atalanta will face Palermo at 1700 and 1930GMT on Saturday, February 24, while kick-off for the match between AC Milan and Sampdoria has been set for 1930GMT a day later.

Matches during the league's two days of fixtures before that weekend will all kick off at 1400GMT, in line with strict security measures adopted by the Italian government in a bid to combat football hooliganism.

The move came after police officer Filippo Raciti was killed outside Catania's stadium after home fans went on the rampage before, during and after the derby match against Palermo on February 2.

The ministry's sporting watchdog, meeting here Thursday, also allowed stadiums in Parma (Serie A) and Bari (Serie B) to reopen to the public after safety upgrades were undertaken.

Like AC Milan, stadiums in Bologna (Serie B) and Reggio Calabria, where Serie A outfit Reggina play, need further updates but season-holders can attend matches.
