"My objective is to return to the Nazionale," the player noted. "I'm ready to work hard and do everything I can in order to achieve that aim."
The 28-year-old, who has accepted a pay cut to join Bologna, won international honours for the Azzurri last November.
He started behind the strikers in the 1-1 draw against Romania before being replaced by Daniele De Rossi in the second half.
He hasn't played or been called up by Italy boss Cesare Prandelli since.
