Italian football federation (FIGC) president Gabriele Gravina expressed his hope Wednesday that Serie A would resume on May 2 with a possible finish in July at the latest.
All Italian sport has been suspended until April 3 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic which has killed more than 2,500 in the country and forced the postponement of Euro 2020.
"I don't even want to think that we won't start again, it would be a hiatus, it would worry me for our country," Gravina told Italian radio.
"We're working on the hypothesis of starting again on May 2 and completing the championships possibly going into July if we don't achieve it by June 30.
"In the event that it's impossible to use all the windows as planned, we will resort to a change in the format of the competitions."
