Mancini initially let them train to loud music played through a Bluetooth speaker in the middle of the pitch in Coverciano.
He then split them into groups for tactical exercises with the 4-3-3 formation.
Italy are expected to use two completely different line-ups for the two UEFA Nations League matches.
