The young goalkeeper was named by Cesare Prandelli in the squad for the friendly against Spain on Wednesday.
And the 21-year-old’s representative has insisted that his fist senior call is reward for hard work.
“Mattia has put in a lot of effort and is doing well,” Matteo Roggi told Calcio News.
“Getting a call for the national team is a huge source of pride and a prize for all the efforts he’s made so far.
“Italy have a real depth of talent in goal, so there’s plenty of options to replace Buffon when he finally retires.
“Mattia is a great talent and a great professional. Hopefully this is the first call-up of many.”
