Italian Football Federation (FIGC) president Gabriele Gravina said he will never cancel the Serie A season as it "would be the death of Italian football".
The 2019-20 Serie A campaign has been suspended since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Italy prime minister Giuseppe Conte announced over the weekend that professional sports teams can resume training on May 18.
It still remains to be seen when, and if, the season will restart after France moved to scrap the 2019-20 Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 campaigns.
Gravina, however, vowed to never cancel the season amid ongoing debate over the resumption of the campaign in Italy.
