The Olympic flame for next year's Winter Games in Turin will be lit in ancient Olympia on 27 November.
It will then tour every Greek skiing centre for the first time before heading for Rome on 7 December.
Last year's Olympic marathon champion Stefano Baldini will be the first torchbearer on Italian soil.
Winter Games chief Valentino Castellani said: "People like me who organise such events, live with this dream, to return to Greece where the Games started."
