Report: Wales manager Tony Pennock said afterwards:
'This was a real learning experience for both the players and staff. I was very proud of the way the lads battled throughout the 90 minutes and we came back strongly in the last twenty minutes, scoring two good goals and could have had a third'.
'The Italian side is very much a development side for their senior set-up, so we have probably seen a few players that will become household names in the future. They did play some fantastic football and at times we struggled to get to grips with their quick passing, but we showed great character and will take lots of positives from the performance."
The Wales goals came from Sion Edwards (Bangor City) 78 minutes and Jamie Price (Worcester City) 82 minutes.
Wales next meet England in the New Year.
