Coach Roberto Mancini makes 10 changes from the XI that lost 3-1 to France on Friday and only Jorginho remains in the line-up.
History is made, because Insigne becomes the first ever Napoli player to captain Italy.
On top of that, he achieves this milestone on his 27th birthday.
The Italy armband is always given to the player with the most caps, which in this experimental line-up is Insigne.
This is his 26th appearance in an Italy jersey, having made his debut under Cesare Prandelli on September 11, 2012.
He was 21 years and three months old when running out in a 2-0 World Cup qualifier against Malta.
Insigne has four goals and two assists in 25 senior Azzurri caps.
