Giampiero Ventura suffered defeat in his first game in charge of Italy as his side slipped to a 3-1 loss at the hands of France in an international friendly on Thursday.
The Azzurri fell behind to an Anthony Martial strike in the first half but replied four minutes later through Graziano Pelle.
However, France restored their lead moments later when Arsenal marksman Olivier Giroud found the back of the net in Bari.
