Antonio Di Natale scored twice to help world champions Italy to a 3-1 win over Belgium in their final friendly before Euro 2008.

The Udinese striker volleyed in at the far post on nine minutes following Andrea Pirlo's cross and then confidently slotted home Alberto Aquilani's pass before the break.

Mauro Camoranesi stroked in the third early in the second period after substitute Alessandro Del Piero's neat layoff.

Italy's starting line-up was largely their first choice side, although Aquilani's selection in midfield ahead of Massimo Ambrosini was a slight surprise.

Belgium have not qualified for the tournament in Austria and Switzerland and mustered only a few half chances before Wesley Sonck headed home in injury time.

Italy travel to their base outside Vienna on Monday with their first match against Holland on 9th June in Berne.
