Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the "Safe Harbor" Provision of the United
States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

The Private Securities Litigation reform Act of 1995 provides a "safe harbor"
for forward-looking statements.  The Press Release included in this Form 6-K
contains certain forward looking statements and forecasts reflecting
management's current views with respect to certain future events.  The ability
of the Telecom Italia Group to achieve its projected results is dependant on
many factors which are outside of management's control.  Actual results may
differ materially from those projected or implied in the forward-looking
statements.  Such forward-looking information involves risks and uncertainties
that could significantly affect expected results and are based on certain key
assumptions.

The following important factors could cause the Telecom Italia Group's actual
results to differ materially from those projected or implied in any forward-
looking statements:

- the continuing impact of increased competition in a liberalized market,
including competition from global and regional alliances formed by other
telecommunications operators in the core domestic fixed-line and wireless
markets of the Telecom Italia Group;

- the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to introduce new services to
stimulate increased usage of its fixed and wireless networks to offset declines
in its fixed-line business due to the continuing impact of regulatory required
price reductions, market share loss and pricing pressures generally;

- the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to achieve cost-reduction
targets in the time frame established or to continue the process of
rationalizing its non-core assets;

- the impact of regulatory decisions and changes in the regulatory
environment;

- the impact of the slowdown in Latin American economies and the slow
recovery of economies generally on the international business of the Telecom
Italia Group focused on Latin America and on its foreign investments and capital
expenditures;

- the continuing impact of rapid changes in technologies;

- the impact of political and economic developments in Italy and other
countries in which the Telecom Italia Group operates;

- the impact of fluctuations in currency exchange and interest rates;

- Telecom Italia's ability to continue the implementation of its 2002-2004
Industrial Plan, including the rationalization of its corporate structure and
the disposition of Telecom Italia's interests in various companies;

- the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to successfully achieve its debt
reduction targets;

- Telecom Italia's ability to successfully roll out its UMTS networks and
services and to realize the benefits of its investment in UMTS licenses and
related capital expenditures;

- Telecom Italia's ability to successfully implement its internet strategy;

- the ability of the Telecom Italia Group to achieve the expected return
on the significant investments and capital expenditures it has made in Latin
America and in Europe;

- the amount and timing of any future impairment charges for Telecom
Italia's licences, goodwill or other assets; and

- the impact of litigation or decreased mobile communications usage
arising from actual or perceived health risks or other problems relating to
mobile handsets or transmission masts.

The foregoing factors should not be construed as exhaustive.  Due to such
uncertainties and risks, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the group will achieve its projected
results.
