Empoli fought back to beat Viareggio 4-1 in a friendly with Massimo Maccarone scoring twice.
Surprisingly, it was Viareggio who were 1-0 up at half-time with Sciapi, as newcomers like Michele Camporese and Bittante still need time to gel.
Levan Mchedlidze equalised with a scorching left-foot strike from distance, then 18-year-old Alberto Picchi scored from the edge of the box to turn it around.
Veteran hitman Maccarone put the icing on the cake with a brace, including a header from a set play.
