It was 2-0 just before the break, as La Roja caught the Azzurrini on the break to allow Mayoral a free run at goal, and he calmly stroked the ball into the net.
Jorge Meré completed the rout in the second half, taking advantage of poor marking on a free kick to loop a header into the Italian goal.
Di Biagio’s side now face Slovania in another friendly on Monday.
