“I am really happy about this decision by the FIGC president, who has shown great sensitivity,” Lukaku said.
“I believe that, thanks to his intervention, justice has been done and an important signal has been sent to the whole world of sport and beyond.
“It has been shown that there is a will to fight racism,” the Belgium forward said.
On Saturday Gravina granted Lukaku an executive pardon “exceptionally and extraordinarily”.
“The principle of combating all forms of racism is a founding element of the sports system,” the FIGC explained.
Consequently, Lukaku will be able to play in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg match against Juventus on Wednesday.
“On Lukaku I think Gravina made the right decision,” Sports Minister Andrea Abodi on Sunday, said.
“There are times when for such a sacred principle as combating any form of racism or anti-Semitism I think extraordinary and symbolic decisions have to be taken,” Abodi told Sky Tg 24.
Ugly scenes broke out during the April 4 match after Lukaku celebrated scoring a last-gasp penalty by mouthing to Juve fans to shut up, apparently after being subjected to racist abuse.
Lukaku was given a red card for the celebration and Inter goalkeeper Samir Handanovic and Juventus' Colombia winger Juan Cuadrado were also sent off after the final whistle as scuffles broke out.
Cuadrado subsequently received a three-match ban while Lukaku got a one-match ban.
Serie A's sporting judge called the chants “loutish and insulting”.
The match ended 1-1.
