Serie A's table-topping clash between Juventus and Inter Milan will be played behind closed doors this weekend.
Antonio Conte's return to Turin - six years after he walked out on the Bianconeri - plus four other matches in Italy's top-flight, will be played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.
Italy is Europe's worst-hit country, with 17 deaths from the virus and 650 infections.
The outbreak is focused on a small cluster of towns in the northern Lombardy and Veneto regions.
The Italian government on Monday banned all sporting events in six regions of the country including Piedmont where Juventus ' home city of Turin is located.
Serie A said in a statement on Thursday that the other games to be played in empty stadiums would be Udinese-Fiorentina, AC Milan-Genoa, Parma-Spal and Sassuolo-Brescia.
It also laid down guidelines for who would be allowed into stadiums.
Only media working for broadcasting rights holders would be able to attend and there would be no news conferences.
A maximum of 100 people "connected directly with the organisation of the match" would be given access plus match delegates, anti-doping staff, stewards and security officials.
A Juventus club statement declared:"Lega Serie A communicated, in compliance with the Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers from 25 February 2020.
“Further implementing provisions of the decree-law from 23 February 2020, n. 6, containing urgent measures regarding the containment and management of the epidemiological emergency that is COVID-19.”
"Without prejudice to the validity of the provisions governing the purchase of tickets, the Club - considering the peculiarity of the national situation – is evaluating initiatives in favour of purchasers."
Inter were in action at San Siro in the Europa League on Thursday night, winning 2-1 against Ludogorets to book their place in the last 16.
