This Amendment No. 6 amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, dated October 30, 2007, as subsequently amended (the “Schedule 13D”), filed by Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. (“Assicurazioni Generali”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy, and by Alleanza Toro S.p.A. (formerly known as Alleanza Assicurazioni S.p.A.), INA Assitalia S.p.A. (each incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy), Generali Lebensversicherung AG (formerly known as Volksfürsorge Deutsche Lebensversicherung AG) (incorporated under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany), and Generali Vie S.A. (incorporated under the laws of the Republic of France), the latter four companies each belonging to the Assicurazioni Generali group (the “Other Generali Investors” and, together with Assicurazioni Generali, “Generali”), with respect to the ordinary shares, euro 0.55 par value per share (the “Telecom Italia Shares”), of Telecom Italia S.p.A., a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Italy (“Telecom Italia”).  The relationships between the Generali companies and their interests in the Telecom Italia shares are described in detail in the previously filed Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Introduction.

On April 28, 2007, a group of investors (the “Investors”) made up of Assicurazioni Generali (together with the Other Generali Investors that became investors on October 25, 2007 pursuant to the October 25th Amendment (as defined below)), Sintonia S.A. (“SI”), Intesa Sanpaolo S.p.A. (“Intesa Sanpaolo”), Mediobanca S.p.A. (“Mediobanca”) and Telefónica S.A., the Spanish-based telecommunications operator (“Telefónica”), entered into a co-investment agreement (as subsequently amended by an amendment agreement on October 25, 2007 (the “October 25th Amendment”), the “Co-Investment Agreement”).  The Co-Investment Agreement established the terms and conditions for their participation in Centotrenta 4/6 S.r.l., an Italian company with registered office at Galleria del Corso 2, Milan, Italy, fiscal code n. 05277610969 subsequently transformed into an Italian joint stock company and renamed as Telco S.p.A. (“Telco”), an Italian corporation.  On November 15, 2007, the registered office of Telco was transferred to Via Filodrammatici 3, Milan, Italy.

Through Telco, the Investors purchased the entire share capital of Olimpia S.p.A. (“Olimpia”), which in turn held at that time 2,407,345,359 Telecom Italia Shares, or approximately 18% of the ordinary share capital, of Telecom Italia, from Pirelli & C. S.p.A. and Sintonia S.p.A. and SI (together, “Sintonia”).  The closing of the purchase of the entire share capital of Olimpia, divided into 4,630,233,510 ordinary shares (the “Olimpia Shares”) pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement occurred on October 25, 2007, following the receipt of the announcement of forthcoming governmental approvals from the Brazilian telecommunications authority on October 23, 2007 (the “Announcement”), an unofficial English translation of which was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 11.

In addition to Telco’s participation in Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital through its interest in Olimpia, on October 25, 2007 pursuant to the Co-Investment Agreement, Generali and Mediobanca contributed to Telco the Telecom Italia Shares they held on that date.  These shares amounted to 5.6% of Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital, with the individual contributions of Generali and Mediobanca amounting to 4.06% and 1.54%, respectively, of Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital, and brought Telco’s direct and indirect participation in Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital to approximately 23.6%.  Copies of the Co-Investment Agreement and the October 25th Amendment were previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibits 3 and 9, respectively.

On April 28, 2007, the Investors also entered into a shareholders agreement (as subsequently amended, the “Shareholders Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investors set out, among other things, the principles of corporate governance of Telco and Olimpia, respectively, the transfer of Telco’s shares and any Olimpia Shares or Telecom Italia Shares directly or indirectly owned by Telco and the principles of designation, among the Investors, of candidates to be included in a common list for the appointment of directors of Telecom Italia under the voting list mechanism provided for by Telecom Italia’s by-laws.  A copy of the Shareholders Agreement was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 5.

Pursuant to the October 25th Amendment, the Investors acknowledged the content of the Announcement and each of the Investors undertook to implement the content thereof through appropriate actions within the time frame set forth therein.  On November 19, 2007, the Investors entered into an Amendment to the Shareholders (the “November 19th Amendment”) to address the content of the Announcement, and each of the Investors undertook to implement such content through appropriate legal measures and actions including amending the Shareholders Agreement and by-laws of Telco as provided in the November 19th Amendment.  A copy of the November 19th Amendment was previously filed as Exhibit 14 and an unofficial English translation of the amended and restated by-laws of Telco was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 15.

Separately, on November 6, 2007, pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, Telco and Telefónica  entered into a call option agreement (the “Telefónica Option Agreement”) to grant Telefónica an option to purchase Telecom Italia Shares or Olimpia Shares, as the case may be, from Telco in the event that a decision to dispose or encumber Telecom Italia Shares or Olimpia Shares, as the case may be, or any rights attached thereto, including but not limited to voting rights, is taken by the board of directors of Telco by simple majority and Telefónica is a dissenting party.  A copy of the Telefónica Option Agreement was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 16.  On November 15, 2007, pursuant to Article 5 of the Telefónica Option Agreement, Olimpia adhered to and accepted all the terms and conditions of the Telefónica Option Agreement.  A copy of the Olimpia adherence letter was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 17.

In March 2008, Telco acquired 121,530,000 Telecom Italia Shares, representing 0.91% of Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital.  As a result, Telco’s holding in Telecom Italia increased from 23.6% to 24.5% equal to 3,278,702,623 Telecom Italia Shares.

On October 28, 2009, SI requested, pursuant to Article 11(b) of the Shareholders Agreement, the non-proportional de-merger of Telco, with the assignment of its pro rata share of the assets and liabilities of Telco (comprised of Telecom Italia Shares held by Telco representing approximately 2.06% of Telecom Italia’s ordinary share capital (the “SI Telecom Shares”)).

On the same date the Investors other than SI, namely Intesa Sanpaolo, Mediobanca, Generali and Telefónica (collectively, the “Remaining Shareholders”) acknowledged SI’s decision and, by entering into a renewal agreement dated October 28, 2009 and effective as of April 28, 2010 (the “Renewal Agreement”), agreed (i) not to request the non-proportional de-merger of Telco, with the assignment of their corresponding share of Telecom Italia Shares at that time; and (ii) to renew the Shareholders Agreement for an additional term of three years until April 27, 2013 substantially on the same terms and conditions, except to provide that (a) the right of the Remaining Shareholders to request the non-proportional de-merger of Telco not later than six months prior to the new expiry date will only be exercisable in the period between October 1, 2012 and October 28, 2012, and (b) for an early withdrawal right period exercisable between April 1, 2011 and April 28, 2011 (such Shareholders Agreement, as amended and renewed, the “New Shareholders Agreement”).  A copy of the Renewal Agreement was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 18 and a copy of the joint press release, dated October 28, 2009, issued by the Remaining Shareholders announcing the events described above was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 20.

The Remaining Shareholders also agreed, in the Renewal Agreement, to consider and evaluate – together with SI – mutually agreed alternative ways to permit SI to exit Telco, other than through non-proportional de-merger.

In connection with the Renewal Agreement, separately on October 28, 2009, Telco and Telefónica entered into an amendment deed to the Telefónica Option Agreement (the “Amendment to Telefónica Option Agreement”) (i) to extend the term of the Telefónica Option Agreement to coincide with the expiration date of the New Shareholders Agreement, and (ii) to exempt certain transactions regarding the Telecom Italia Shares, namely those related to an alternative method agreed by the Remaining Shareholders exercise the de-merger and early withdrawal rights pursuant to Article 11(b) of the Shareholders Agreement.  A copy of the Amendment to Telefónica Option Agreement was previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 19.

The terms of SI’s exit were approved on November 26, 2009, when an extraordinary general meeting of the Telco shareholders unanimously approved a proposal of the Telco board of directors to permit SI to exit Telco in a single transaction consisting of two parts (the “SI Exit Transaction”).  The SI Exit Transaction was concluded on December 22, 2009 when Telco and SI executed a purchase and sale agreement (the “SI Exit Agreement”), pursuant to which: (i) SI acquired the SI Telecom Shares from Telco for consideration of euro 605,254,575.20 (equal to a price of euro 2.20 for each SI Telecom Share) (the “SI Telecom Share Transfer”), and (ii) Telco voluntarily reduced its share capital by acquiring and cancelling SI’s Telco shares (equal to 162,752,995 class A shares, constituting 8.39% of Telco’s share capital) for consideration of euro 293,461,160.95 (equal to a price of approximately euro 1.80 for each Telco share), equal to the pro rata net asset value of SI’s interest in Telco as of December 15, 2009 (the “Telco Share Capital Reduction”).

Because cash consideration was payable under the SI Exit Agreement by both Telco and SI, pursuant to the SI Exit Agreement only a single net cash payment was made by SI of euro 311,793,414.25 (equal to the cash consideration due from SI to Telco of euro 605,254,575.20 in respect of the SI Telecom Share Transfer minus the cash consideration due from Telco to SI of euro 293,461,160.95 in respect of the Telco Share Capital Reduction).  An unofficial translation of the SI Exit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 21 hereto and the related Telco press release, dated December 22, 2009, is filed as Exhibit 22 hereto.

On December 22, 2009 the Remaining Shareholders and Telco entered into a framework agreement (the “Framework Agreement”) pursuant to which the Remaining Shareholders agreed, among other things, to take certain actions and enter into certain transactions in order to permit Telco (a) to comply with its obligations under its existing credit facilities, and (b) to refinance its financial indebtedness maturing in January 2010.

Consistent with the Framework Agreement, on January 11, 2010 Telco entered into a euro 1.3 billion loan agreement (the “New Refinancing Facility”) with Société Générale, UniCredit Corporate Banking S.p.A., Intesa Sanpaolo and Mediobanca, as lenders (collectively, the “Senior Lenders”).  The New Refinancing Facility matures on May 31, 2012 and is guaranteed by a pledge (the “Pledge”) in favor of the Senior Lenders over certain Telecom Italia Shares held by Telco (the “Pledged Shares”).

Also on January 11, 2010 in connection with the New Refinancing Facility, the Non-Exiting Shareholders entered into an amendment agreement to the New Shareholders Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) pursuant to which the Remaining Shareholders: (i) confirmed that each Remaining Shareholder would endeavor to provide financial support to Telco on a pro rata basis (in proportion to its respective shareholding in Telco); (ii) established the terms and conditions upon which each Remaining Shareholder may provide such support by means of a cash injection if necessary under the New Refinancing Facility; and (iii) established the terms and conditions that would govern the Remaining Shareholders’ option to acquire the Pledged Shares from the Senior Lenders (the “Call Option”) in the event that the Senior Lenders acquire any of the Pledged Shares by enforcing the Pledge.  Further, on January 11, 2010, the terms of the Call Option were agreed between the Remaining Shareholders and the Senior Lenders in a separate option agreement (the “Pledged Shares Option Agreement”).  Copies of the Amendment Agreement, the Pledged Shares Option Agreement is filed as Exhibit 24 hereto and the Telco press release announcing the events described above, dated January 11, 2010, were previously filed on Schedule 13D as Exhibit 23, Exhibit 24 and Exhibit 25, respectively.

On October 6, 2010, the Remaining Shareholders, Telco, certain companies controlled by Telefónica, Telecom Italia and certain companies controlled by Telecom Italia entered into a “compromiso” (the “Compromiso”) in order to terminate certain administrative and judicial proceedings in Argentina related to the Telco investment in Telecom Italia.  The Compromiso was required in order for the Argentinean authorities to approve the Telco investment in Telecom Italia and it was accepted by the competent Argentinean authorities on October 13, 2010.  Pursuant to an amendment to the New Shareholders Agreement dated as of December 10, 2010 (the “2010 Amendment Agreement”), the Remaining Shareholders implemented the Compromiso by inserting an additional clause into the New Shareholders Agreement related to the governance of Telco and Telecom Italia with respect to the operations of Telecom Italia, Telefónica and their respective group companies which offer telecommunications, Internet, data, radio, media and substitute services in Argentina (the “Activities in the Argentinean Market”).  A copy of the 2010 Amendment Agreement is filed as Exhibit 26 hereto.

On February 29, 2012, the Remaining Shareholders entered into a renewal agreement (the “Second Renewal Agreement”) in which the parties agreed to terminate, effective the date of the Second Renewal Agreement, the New Shareholders Agreement and enter into another shareholders agreement for a period of three years on the same terms and conditions set out in the original Shareholders Agreement dated as of April 28, 2007 between the Remaining Shareholders and SI, as subsequently amended and supplemented in 2007, 2009, 2010 and pursuant to the 2010 Amendment Agreement, subject to the amendments and integrations set forth therein (the “2012 Shareholders Agreement”).  Further, on February 29, 2012, the call option granted to Telefónica to purchase shares of Telecom Italia held by Telco pursuant to Clause 8.5(a) of the New Shareholders Agreement was extended to February 28, 2015 pursuant to an amendment deed to the Telefónica Option Agreement (the “Telefónica Option Amendment Deed”) entered into between Telefónica and Telco.  A copy of the Second Renewal Agreement is filed as Exhibit 27 hereto and a copy of the Telefónica Option Amendment Deed is filed as Exhibit 28 hereto.

Also on February 29, 2012, the Remaining Shareholders undertook to take actions to ensure the refinancing of Telco’s financial indebtedness through the most appropriate financing instruments in proportion to their respective shareholdings of Telco.  A copy of the Telco press release related to the events described above, dated February 29, 2012, is filed as Exhibit 29 hereto.

Items 5, 6 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Following the SI Exit Transaction, Generali, through its interest in Telco, may be deemed to beneficially own 3,003,586,907 Telecom Italia Shares, representing approximately 22.4% of the outstanding Telecom Italia Shares.  Generali may be deemed to have shared power to vote, or direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or direct the dispositions, of such Telecom Italia Shares.

In addition, INA Assitalia S.p.A. may be deemed to have sole power to vote or direct the vote of 17,952 Telecom Italia Shares, representing approximately 0.00013% of the outstanding Telecom Italia Shares, and sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of 17,952 Telecom Italia Shares.  These shares are not currently to be contributed to Telco.

The beneficial ownership of Telecom Italia Shares by the persons listed in Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 to this Amendment No. 6, if any, is indicated next to such person’s name in such Annexes.  To the best of Assicurazioni Generali’s and each of the Other Generali Investors’ knowledge, as applicable, and except as otherwise indicated in such Annexes, such persons have sole voting and dispositive power over the Telecom Italia Shares that they beneficially own, if any.  Other than as disclosed in such Annexes, over the last sixty days, the persons listed in Annexes A-1, A-2, A-3, A-4 and A-5 have not effected proprietary transactions in Telecom Italia Shares.

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

2010 AMENDMENT AGREEMENT

The description of the 2010 Amendment Agreement in the Introduction to this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the 2010 Amendment Agreement, Telefónica and any person designated by Telefónica in Telco and/or any other company directly or indirectly controlled or participated in by Telco or Telecom Italia are prohibited from participating in, or voting with respect to, or vetoing decisions related to, deliberations in connection with the Activities in the Argentinean Market.  In addition, Telefónica is prohibited from naming any person to the management, board of directors or board of auditors in companies directly or indirectly controlled by Telecom Italia and its controlled companies that undertake Activities in the Argentinean Market.  Further, Telefónica is prohibited from appointing in Telco and Telecom Italia any person that is simultaneously a member of the board of directors or an employee of Telefónica de Argentina S.A. or Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A.  Finally, Telefónica is prohibited from exercising direct or indirect control on any company controlled by Telecom Italia which carries out Activities in the Argentinean Market, including pursuant to the provisions of the New Shareholders Agreement.

The provisions described above related to the Compromiso as well as prohibitions with respect to relationships between the companies controlled by Telefónica and Telecom Italia carrying out Activities in the Argentinean Market will remain in full force and effect in the event of a de-merger of Telco.  The 2010 Amendment Agreement also amends and integrates the by-laws of Telco to establish certain procedural devices to prohibit Telefónica’s participation in decisions related to Telecom Italia’s Activities in the Argentinean Market.

The foregoing summary of certain material provisions of the 2010 Amendment Agreement does not purport to be a full and complete description of such document and is entirely qualified by reference to the full text of such document attached as Exhibit 26 hereto.

SECOND RENEWAL AGREEMENT

The description of the Second Renewal Agreement in the Introduction to this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

Pursuant to the Second Renewal Agreement the parties agreed to terminate, effective the date thereof, the New Shareholders Agreement and enter into the 2012 Shareholders Agreement for a period of three years as of February 29, 2012.  The expiry date of the 2012 Shareholders Agreement is February 28, 2015 (the “New Expiry Date”).  The terms of the 2012 Shareholders Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the New Shareholders Agreement, except for the following modifications.

Each of the Remaining Shareholders’ right to request to the other Remaining Shareholders the non-proportional de-merger of Telco pursuant to Article 11 of the 2012 Shareholders Agreement will only be exercisable by each of the Remaining Shareholders by sending a de-merger notice between August 1, 2014 and August 28, 2014 (the “Final Notice Period”).  Following such notice, the de-merger must be completed within a reasonable time frame, but in no case later than six months following the later of (i) the receipt of the notice or (ii) the receipt of any required authorizations.  In the event that one or more Remaining Shareholders give such written notice of de-merger in the last five days of the Final Notice Period, then such period will be extended until September 3, 2014.  In the event that one of the Remaining Shareholders requires the de-merger of Telco (the “Exiting Party”), the 2012 Shareholders Agreement will continue in full force and effect (a) with respect to the Exiting Party, until the earlier of the date of completion of the de-merger and the New Expiry Date and (b) with respect to the other Remaining Shareholders that will not have exercised such right to require the de-merger, until the New Expiry Date.

In addition to the foregoing right to require the de-merger of Telco pursuant to Article 11 of the 2012 Shareholders Agreement, each Remaining Shareholder will also have the right to withdraw from the 2012 Shareholders Agreement (the “Right to Withdraw”) and require the other Remaining Shareholders to cause the non-proportional de-merger of Telco pursuant to Article 11(b) of the 2012 Shareholders Agreement by sending a notice between September 1, 2013 and September 28, 2013 (the “Anticipated Notice Period”).  Following such notice, the de-merger must be completed within a reasonable time frame, but in no case later than six months following the later of (i) the receipt of the notice or (ii) the receipt of any required authorizations.  In the event that one or more Remaining Shareholders give such written notice of de-merger in the last five days of the Anticipated Notice Period, then such period will be extended until October 3, 2013.  In the event that one of the Remaining Shareholders requires the de-merger of Telco, the 2012 Shareholders Agreement will continue in full force and effect (a) with respect to the Exiting Party, until the earlier of the date of completion of the de-merger and the New Expiry Date and (b) with respect to the other Remaining Shareholders that will not have exercised the Right to Withdraw, until the New Expiry Date.

The foregoing summary of certain material provisions of the Second Renewal Agreement does not purport to be a full and complete description of such document and is entirely qualified by reference to the full text of such document attached as Exhibit 27 hereto.

TELEFÓNICA OPTION AMENDMENT DEED

The description of the Telefónica Option Amendment Deed in the Introduction to this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

In addition to the extension of the Telefónica Option Agreement to the New Expiry Date, the Telefónica Option Amendment Deed confirmed that in the event that (i) all Remaining Shareholders agree to an alternative method for a relevant Exiting Party to exercise its Right to Withdraw, and (ii) the Telco board of directors resolves to transfer Telecom Shares to such Exiting Party, then the Telecom Shares subsequently transferred to such Exiting Party pursuant to such board resolution will no longer be subject to the Telefónica Option Agreement.

The foregoing summary of certain material provisions of the Telefónica Option Amendment Deed does not purport to be a full and complete description of such document and is entirely qualified by reference to the full text of such document attached as Exhibit 28 hereto.

· INTESA SANPAOLO S.p.A., an Italian company with registered office at Piazza San Carlo n. 156, Torino, Italy, share capital Euro 6,646,547,922.56, registration number on the Torino Company Register and fiscal code 00799960158, VAT number 10810700152, included in Registry of Banks with n. 5361 and Parent Company of banking group “Intesa Sanpaolo” included in the National Register of Banking Groups (“IS”);

· MEDIOBANCA S.p.A., an Italian company with registered office at Piazzetta Cuccia n. 1, Milano, Italy (“MB”);

(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties” and, individually, as a “Party”)

WHEREAS:

A. The Parties jointly own the whole share capital of Telco S.p.A., with registered office at via Filodrammatici n. 3, Milan, Italy, fiscal code n. 05277610969 (“Telco”), which owns

3,003,586,907 shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A., with registered office at Piazza degli Affari 2, Milan, Italy, fiscal code n. 00488410010 (“TI”), equivalent to approximately 22.45% of the ordinary share capital of TI, according to the following proportion:

- TE owns no. 820,569,068 Class B shares of Telco representing approximately 46.18% of Telco’s share capital;

- AG no. 543,364,315 Class A shares of Telco representing approximately 30.58% of Telco’s share capital;

- IS owns no. 206,464,495 Class A shares of Telco representing approximately 11.62% of Telco’s share capital;

- MB owns no. 206,464,495 Class A shares of Telco representing approximately 11.62% of Telco’s share capital.

B. On 28 April 2007 the Parties and Sintonia S.A. entered into a co-investment agreement (the “Co-investment Agreement”) for the incorporation of Telco and the acquisition by Telco of 100% of the share capital of Olimpia S.p.A. which in turn held 17,99% of the ordinary share capital of TI and a shareholders’ agreement (the “Shareholders’ Agreement”) by means of which they established the principles relating inter alia to (i) the corporate governance of Telco, (ii) the preparation and presentation of the list for the shareholders’ meeting of TI having on the agenda the appointment of TI’s directors, (iii) the transfer of Telco’s shares and indirectly the transfer of the TI’s shares owned by Telco, and (iv) the autonomous and independent management of the TI and TE groups, including limitations on the participation of TE or its representatives in any decision-making processes relating to policies, management, and operations of companies directly or indirectly controlled by TI in countries where restrictions apply (the transaction contemplated in the Co-investment Agreement and Shareholders’ Agreement, the “Telco Transaction”).

C. On 25 October 2007, the Parties and Sintonia S.A. entered into an amendment to the Co-investment Agreement and to the Shareholders’ Agreement in which, inter alia, the Parties acknowledged the content of the decision announced by the Brazilian telecommunications regulator - ANATEL on 23 October 2007 and subsequently published on 5 November 2007 as ANATEL’s Ato no. 68.276, of 31 October 2007 (the “ANATEL Approval”).

D. On 19 November 2007, the Parties and Sintonia S.A. further agreed to amend the Shareholders’ Agreement and the by-laws of Telco (the “Telco By-Laws”) in order to implement the provisions of the ANATEL Approval.

E. On 28 October 2009 the Parties agreed to renew the Shareholders’ Agreement for an additional period of three years (i.e. as of 28 April 2010 until 27 April 2013).

F. On 11 January 2010 the Parties entered into an agreement by which they agreed to support Telco and, in particular, to make available to Telco the funds necessary to avoid or cure any possible default under a new facility which was provided to Telco in the same context by primary financial institutions.

G. In order to terminate certain administrative and judicial proceedings in connection with the Telco Transaction, on 6 October 2010 the Parties, Telco, certain companies controlled

2

by TE, TI, Telecom Italia International NV and certain other companies controlled by TI entered into a “compromiso” (the “Compromiso”). Such Compromiso was accepted by Resolution Nº 148 of the Secretaría de Política Económica of the Ministerio de Economia y Finanzas Publicas on 13 October 2010 (upon corresponding proposal by the Argentinean antitrust authority, the Comisión Nacional de Defensa de la Competencia (the “CNDC”)), which approved the Telco Transaction, subject to the irrevocable and effective compliance of the Compromiso.

H. For the same reasons indicated in letter G. above, but without prejudice to the Parties’ position that the Telco Transaction does not represent an “economic concentration” pursuant to articles 6 and 8 of the Argentinean Law 25.156, the Parties now wish to amend the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Telco By-Laws, in accordance with provisions of the Compromiso.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises the Parties hereby

AGREE AND CONVENANT

as follows.

1.           The Shareholders’ Agreement is amended by adding thereto a new Paragraph 5 ter, in the following terms:

(iii)           in the event of a de-merger of Telco, the conditions imposed on TE towards TI and its controlled and controlling companies (if any), as well as the prohibition with respect to the relationships between the companies controlled by TE and TI which carry out Activities in the Argentinean Market, shall remain in full force and effect;

(iv)           any amendment to the Shareholders’ Agreement or to Telco’s By-Laws which relates to the Compromiso and/or which has impact on the Argentinean market shall be submitted to the prior approval of CNDC;

(v)           TE shall be  prohibited, in accordance with the Argentinean legislation, from exercising  directly or indirectly control on any company controlled by TI which carry out Activities in the Argentinean Market, even in the event of exercise by TE of the rights referred to in articles 6 and 8.5 of the Shareholders’ Agreement;

(vi)           Telco’s By-Laws shall be amended in order to provide that in the event, and to the extent, that the Telco’s board of directors has to review any matter regarding the Activities in the Argentinean Market, the personsin charge of preparing the board meetings’ agendas and the chairman of the board of directors of Telco shall divide the topics of the agenda as follows: (i) one agenda for the meeting in which the participation of TE, through the board members designated by TE, is allowed, and (ii) another agenda for the meeting in which the board members designated by TE are not allowed to participate. The meetings in which TE’s members of the board of directors are not allowed to participate shall be those relating to the Activities in the Argentinean Market of TI and of companies directly or indirectly controlled by TI;

4

(vii)           TE shall be prohibited from appointing in Telco and in TI persons who are at the same time either members of the board of directors or employees of Telefónica de Argentina S.A. or of Telefónica Móviles Argentina S.A.

2.           The Parties further agree to integrate the Telco By-Laws by adding thereto a new Paragraph 5.1.2 and a new Paragraph 16.4, the contents of which are attached hereto as Annex “A”.

3.           Except as provided for in Sections 1 and 2 above, all the other provisions, terms and conditions set forth in the Co-investment Agreement, the Shareholders’ Agreement and the Telco By-Laws, all such documents as subsequently amended and restated, shall remain unchanged and are hereby expressly ratified and confirmed by the Parties.

For the purposes of this clause 16.4, and for so long as the limitations and restrictions that have been assumed towards the Argentinean authorities remain effective and in force, prior to any meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors, and to the extent the  Board of Directors has to review any matter regarding the Activities in the Argentinean Market, the President of the Board of Directors, or such other person as may be responsible for preparing the agenda, shall have the obligation of preparing two separate agendas as follows: (i) one agenda for the meeting in which the directors appointed from the list presented by the holders of Class B Shares are allowed to participate; and (ii) another agenda for the meeting in which the directors appointed from the list presented by the Class B shareholders are not allowed to participate.

(hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Parties” and, individually, a “Party”)

WHEREAS

A. The Parties jointly own the whole share capital of Telco S.p.A., with registered office at Milan, via Filodrammatici n. 3, Italy, fiscal code n. 05277610969 (“Telco” or “Newco”) which, at the date hereof, owns 3,003,586,907 ordinary shares of Telecom Italia S.p.A., with registered office at Milan, Piazza degli Affari 2, Italy, fiscal code n. 00488410010 (“TI”), equivalent to approximately 22.39% of the ordinary share capital of TI, according to the following proportion:

C. On 28th October 2009, SI required the non-proportional de-merger of Telco, pursuant to Article 11(b) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, thereby becoming an Exiting Party in relation thereto.

(ii) Each of the Parties’ right to require in writing to the other Parties the non-proportional de-merger of Telco not later than 6 (six) months prior to the New Expiry Date pursuant to Article 11 of the New Shareholders’ Agreement, will only be exercisable by each of the Parties by sending the de-merger notice in the period between 1 August 2014 and 28 August 2014 (the “Final Notice Period”), upon which the Parties shall be bound to cause Telco to complete the de-merger within a reasonably short timeframe, but in any case no later than 6 (six) months following the relevant notice or, if the transaction is subject to any authorizations by law or contract, within 6 (six) months following the obtaining of such authorizations, in accordance and in compliance with all the provisions set out in Article 11 of the New Shareholders’ Agreement. It is hereby agreed and understood that in the event the de-merger were required by one or more Parties during the last 5 (five) days of the Final Notice Period, then the Final Notice Period shall be extended to 3 September 2014.

It is hereby agreed and understood that in the event the de-merger were required by one or more Parties during the last 5 (five) days of the Anticipated Notice Period, then the Anticipated Notice Period shall be extended to 3 October 2013. In case the de-merger of Telco were required, the Right to Withdraw shall be effective for the Exiting Party as of the completion of the de-merger, provided that the New Shareholders’ Agreement shall continue in full force and effect (a) with respect to the Exiting Party, until the earlier of the date of completion of the de-merger and the New Expiry Date, and (b) with respect to the other Parties not having exercised the Right of Withdraw, until the New Expiry Date.

And

2. TELCO, S.P.A., an Italian company with registered office at 20121, Milano, Via Filodrammatici n. 3, Italy (“Telco”);

(collectively, the “Parties” and each, individually, a “Party”)

WHEREAS

A. On 28th April 2007, TE, ASSICURAZIONI GENERALI S.p.A., SINTONIA S.A., INTESA SANPAOLO S.p.A., MEDIOBANCA S.p.A., entered into a shareholders’ agreement – as subsequently amended and supplemented with the first deed of amendment dated 25th October 2007 and with the second deed of amendment dated 19th November 2007 – by means of which they established the principles relating inter alia to (i) the corporate governance of Telco, (ii) the appointment of directors in TI, (iii) the transfer of the Telco’s shares and indirectly of the TI’s shares owned by Telco and (iv) the autonomous and independent management of the TI and TE groups, including limitations on the participation of TE or its representatives in any decision-making processes relating to policies, management, and operations of companies directly or indirectly controlled by TI in countries where restrictions apply (hereinafter, with the amendments and integrations from time to time agreed, as indicated in recital E. below, the “Shareholders’ Agreement”).

B. Pursuant to Clause 11, the Shareholders’ Agreement shall expire on the third anniversary as of the signing date (the “Expiry Date”).

C. Pursuant to Clause 8.5(a) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, on 6th November 2007 Telco and TE signed a call option agreement (the “Call Option”) granting to TE the right to purchase, at the conditions set forth therein, TI shares held by Telco. Pursuant to Clause 4.1, the Call Option shall expire on the Expiry Date of the Shareholders’ Agreement.

D. On 28th October 2009, SINTONIA S.A.(“SI”) required the non-proportional de-merger of Telco, pursuant to Article 11(b) of the Shareholders’ Agreement, thereby becoming an Exiting Party in relation thereto. The exit of SI from the Shareholders’ Agreement and Telco’s shareholding (the “SI Exit”) was then agreed with an alternative modality and completed on 22nd December 2009.

E. The parties to the Shareholders’ Agreement, with the exception of SI, agreed on 28th October 2009, by means of the first renewal agreement (the “First Renewal Agreement”)

to amend and renew the Shareholders’ Agreement for an additional period of 3 (three) years as of 28th April 2010 until 27th April 2013 and, following completion of SI Exit, entered into further deeds of amendment dated 11th January 2010 and 10th December 2010 (the Shareholders’ Agreement as a result of the aforesaid amendments and renewal is hereby referred to as the “Renewed Shareholders’ Agreement”).

F. On the same 28th October 2009, TE and Telco by means of an amendment deed to the Call Option agreed, inter alia, to extend the effectiveness of the Call Option, at the same terms and conditions set out therein, until the new expiry date of the Renewed Shareholders’ Agreement, falling on 27th April 2013.

G. On the date hereof, by means of a second renewal agreement (the “Second Renewal Agreement”), the parties to the Renewed Shareholders’ Agreement agreed (x) to terminate as of the date hereof the Renewed Shareholders’ Agreement and (y) to enter into a new shareholders’ agreement, at the same terms and conditions set out in the Renewed Shareholders’ Agreement, except for the further amendments and integrations set forth in the Second Renewal Agreement (the “New Shareholders’ Agreement”) for a period of 3 (three) years as of 29 February 2012 until 28 February 2015 (which will be deemed as the new “New Expiry Date” of the New Shareholders’ Agreement).

H. According to the New Shareholders’ Agreement, the parties to such agreement are granted with a Right to Withdraw from the New Shareholders’ Agreement (the “Right to Withdraw”) and a right to require the other parties to cause the non-proportional de-merger of Telco (the “De-Merger”).

I. Unless differently provided herein, the terms and expressions with initials in capital letters shall have the same meaning as the one they are given in the New Shareholders’ Agreement and in the Call Option.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the Parties hereby

AGREE AND COVENANT

as follows:

1. The Parties hereby irrevocably acknowledge and agree (i) to partially amend Clause 4.1 of the Call Option currently in force and, as a consequence, (ii) that the Call Option shall remain in full force and effect at the terms and conditions set out therein until the New Expiry Date of the New Shareholders’ Agreement, falling on 28 February 2015.

2. In the event that following an alternative way which has been agreed by all Parties to permit a Party that has exercised the Right to Withdraw to exit from Telco, the Board of Directors of Telco resolves to transfer TI shares to the Party having exercised the Right to Withdraw, then in such case the Call Option shall not apply to such TI Shares being the object of such Board resolution.

3. Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, no other amendments or supplements to the Call Option are made.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Amendment Deed to be executed by their respective officers or representatives thereto duly authorized, all in the place and as of the date first above written.

PRESS RELEASE

Telco S.p.A. informs that its shareholders (Assicurazioni Generali Group, Intesa Sanpaolo, Mediobanca and Telefonica) have agreed to renew the Shareholders’ Agreement for 3 years, that is, until 28 February 2015, replicating the existing terms and conditions, including:

- the right to request the pro-rata demerger by giving notice between 1 August and 28 August 2014;

- the right to request early withdrawal and related pro-rata demerger, with notice to be given between 1 September and 28 September 2013, and execution to follow in the subsequent 6 months.

Telco shareholders have also undertaken to refinance the entire amount of Telco’s debt falling due pro-rata to their stake in the company’s share capital in the most appropriate technical forms.  The shareholders’ commitment shall be without prejudice to Telco’s access to alternative sources of financing from the credit markets, it being understood that in such case the shareholders’ commitment shall be reduced accordingly.  In this respect Telco has resolved to initiate discussions with the banking system to agree the terms and conditions for a refinancing package.
