THE EXCHANGE OFFER AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 12:00 MIDNIGHT, NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON
SEPTEMBER 30, 2005, UNLESS EXTENDED

Material Terms of the Exchange Offer:

Ø
Telecom Italia Capital is offering to exchange the initial notes that it sold in a private offering which closed on October 6,

2004 for new registered exchange notes.

Ø
Based on interpretations by the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, we believe that, subject to some

exceptions, the exchange notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the
registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Ø
The initial notes are currently listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Application has been made to list the exchange notes

on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange; no other public market exists for the exchange notes.

Ø
The exchange offer expires at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, September 30, 2005, unless extended.

Final Prospectus

Ø
Tenders of outstanding initial notes may be withdrawn any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

Ø
All outstanding initial notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be exchanged.

Ø
You may tender your outstanding initial notes in integral multiples of U.S.$1,000.

Ø
We believe that the exchange of initial notes for registered exchange notes will not be a taxable exchange for U.S. federal

income tax purposes. Participation in the exchange offer may result in certain adverse tax consequences for non-U.S. residents
as discussed in the section of this prospectus entitled "Tax Considerations--Italian Tax Considerations" on page 78.

Ø
We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

Ø
The exchange offer is subject to customary conditions, including that the exchange offer does not violate applicable law or any

applicable interpretation of law of the staff of, or rule or regulation of, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Ø
The terms of the registered exchange notes to be issued are identical to the outstanding initial notes, except for the transfer

restrictions and registration rights relating to the outstanding notes.

We are not making an offer to exchange new registered exchange notes for outstanding initial notes in the Republic of Italy or in
any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

The exchange notes are subject to the same business and financial risks as the initial notes. Please refer to " Risk Factors"
beginning on page 32 of this prospectus for a description of the risks you should consider when evaluating this investment.

Neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the
registered exchange notes to be distributed in the exchange offer, nor have any of these organizations determined if this
prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is September 1, 2005.
