Tuesday’s clash was overshadowed by a serious-looking injury to Turkey defender Ozan Kabak, who appears more than likely to miss the tournament which kicks off in Germany on June 14.
Kabak, who plays for Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga, was stretchered off shortly before halftime after injuring his right knee.
The 24-year-old fell awkwardly following a challenge with Italy forward Mateo Retegui.
Turkey play their opening Euro 2024 match against Georgia on June 18 before facing Portugal and Czechia.
There were few real goalscoring opportunities, Italy’s best chance coming with the last piece of action of the first half as Bryan Cristante headed a corner onto the post.
Retegui wasted a good opportunity in the9th minute when he opted for an acrobatic overhead kick that sailed over the bar.
Juventus midfielder Nicolo Fagioli was brought on shortly afterwards for his Italy comeback after recently returning from a seven-month ban for betting violations.
Italy will play another friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Sunday before kicking off their title defence against Albania on June 15.
