Italy coach Marcello Lippi on Monday unveiled a 23-man squad for next month's World Cup in Germany.
Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon was included despite being named in a betting probe - a sidebar to a Juve-linked match-fixing probe that has rocked Italian soccer. Buffon, one of the world's top goalies, has voiced confidence of being cleared after meeting prosecutors and stressing he bet abroad on non-Juve matches before a betting ban came into force.
Udinese striker Vincenzo Iaquinta got the sixth strikers' berth with Livorno veteran Cristiano Lucarelli missing out again.
Veteran AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi got the nod on the strength of recent goalscoring feats, replacing injured Monaco striker Christian Vieri.
Roma star Francesco Totti won a place after reassuring Lippi he is regaining match fitness after a leg injury. Totti has played bits of two Roma matches since returning five days ago and aims to be be available for Italy's second match, against the United States on June 17.
Italy starts its campaign against Ghana on June 12. Its third group match is against the Czech Republic on June 22.
Here is the squad (clubs and ages in parentheses):
Goalkeepers: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus, 28), Angelo Peruzzi (Lazio, 36), Marco Amelia (Livorno, 24) Defenders: Andrea Barzagli (Palermo, 25), Fabio Grosso (Palermo, 28), Fabio Cannavaro (Juventus, 32), Marco Materazzi (Inter, 32), Alessandro Nesta (AC Milan, 30), Massimo Oddo (Lazio, 29), Cristian Zaccardo (Palermo, 24), Gianluca Zambrotta (Juventus, 28)
Midfielders: Simone Barone (Palermo, 28), Daniele De Rossi (Roma, 22), Mauro Camoranesi (Juventus, 29), Gennaro Gattuso (AC Milan, 28), Simone Perrotta (Roma, 28), Andrea Pirlo (AC Milan, 27), Francesco Totti (Roma, 29) Strikers: Alessandro Del Piero (Juventus, 31), Alberto
Gilardino (AC Milan, 23), Filippo Inzaghi (AC Milan, 32), Vincenzo Iaquinta (Udinese, 26), Luca Toni (Fiorentina, 29)
Despite the unprecedented match-fixing allegations, Lippi has said he is "happy" to be Italy's coach right now.
Italy's World Cup performances should not be linked to what is happening in Serie A, he said.
"If we fail to achieve our World Cup objectives we will assume our responsibilities without hiding behind the current problems in Italian football," he said.
Italy has two pre-World Cup friendlies: against Switzerland on May 31 and against Ukraine on June 2.
