This Amendment No. 9 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D
dated August 9, 2001, as amended (as previously amended, the "Statement on
Schedule 13D"), filed by Pirelli S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws
of the Republic of Italy ("Pirelli"), and, commencing with Amendment No. 1
thereto, Olimpia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic
of Italy (the "Purchaser"), with respect to the ordinary shares, euro 0.55 par
value per share, of Telecom Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws
of the Republic of Italy. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without
definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement on Schedule 13D.
Pirelli, the Purchaser, Edizione Holding, UCI and BCI are
members of a group with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares. This Amendment
constitutes a separate filing on Schedule 13D by Pirelli and the Purchaser in
accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Pirelli and the Purchaser are responsible solely for the information contained
in their separate filing, except that information contained in the Statement on
Schedule 13D concerning any director or officer of the Purchaser nominated by
Edizione Holding, UCI or BCI has been provided by the nominating person.
Item 2. Identity and Background
-----------------------
Pirelli reflects Olimpia as an equity investment for financial
reporting purposes. On January 9, 2002, Pirelli appealed to the Tribunale
Amministrativo Regionale del Lazio a decision by Consob, the Italian securities
regulatory authority, stating that Olivetti is controlled de facto by Olimpia
and Olimpia is individually controlled by Pirelli within the meaning of certain
provisions of Italian law. A copy of Consob's decision is filed herewith as
Exhibit 33. If Consob's decision is upheld by the Tribunale Amministrativo
Regionale del Lazio, Pirelli could be required to reflect Olimpia as a
consolidated subsidiary for financial reporting purposes in future periods. The
Tribunale Amministrativo Regionale del Lazio is expected to render a decision on
the appeal on February 20, 2002.
