3 This Amendment No. 20 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D dated August 9, 2001, as amended (as previously amended, the "Statement on Schedule 13D"), filed by Pirelli S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy ("Pirelli"), and, commencing with Amendment No. 1 thereto, Olimpia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy (the "Purchaser" or "Olimpia"), with respect to the ordinary shares, euro 0.55 par value per share, of Telecom Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement on Schedule 13D. Pirelli, Olimpia, Edizione Holding and Edizione Finance (as defined below), Hopa, UCI and BCI are members of a group with respect to the Telecom Italia Shares. This Amendment constitutes a separate filing on Schedule 13D by Pirelli and Olimpia in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Pirelli and Olimpia are responsible solely for the information contained in their separate filing, except that information contained in the Statement on Schedule 13D concerning any director or officer of Olimpia nominated by Edizione Holding, UCI or BCI has been provided by the nominating person, and the information contained in Item 2 below concerning Mr. Emilio Gnutti has been provided directly by Mr. Gnutti. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND As reported in Amendment No. 18 to the Statement on Schedule 13D, Mr. Emilio Gnutti became a director of Olimpia on May 5, 2003. Mr. Gnutti's present principal occupation is entrepeneur and his business address is Corso Zanardenelli 32, Brescia, Italy. Mr. Gnutti is an Italian citizen. Olimpia and Pirelli have been informed that, during the past five years, Mr. Gnutti has not been (i) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which he was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activity subject to, federal or state securities laws on finding any violation with respect to such laws, or (ii) convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors), except that on June 25, 2002, Mr. Gnutti was convicted in the Tribunale Brescia of charges based on Article 180, Paragraph 1(b) of Legislative Decree 58 of February 24, 1998 - Consolidated Law on Financial Intermediation, in connection with which Mr. Gnutti was fined euro 100,000 and sentenced to serve eight months in prison. (Article 180, Paragraph 1(b) relates to the unauthorized disclosure of inside information - the charges do not relate to conduct involving the securities of Telecom Italia, Olivetti or Pirelli.) An appeal by Mr. Gnutti from the decision of the Tribunale Brescia is presently pending in the Court of Appeal of Brescia. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION On June 5, 2003, Olivetti filed with Consob, the Italian securities regulatory authority, a communication to the market relating to Olivetti's intention to launch a voluntary partial tender offer for Telecom Italia Shares (and American Depositary Shares representing underlying Telecom 4 Italia Shares) and Telecom Italia Savings Shares.

On June 19, 2003, Olivetti issued a press release which reports that Olivetti received authorization from Consob on June 18, 2003 to publish the offer document relating to the tender offer for Telecom Italia Shares and Telecom Italia Savings Shares. The press release also reports that the take-up period for the tender offer will run from 08:30 (Italian time) on June 23, 2003 until 17:40 (Italian time) on July 18, 2003.
