What B81 said. If we play 3-5-2 we would have 6 Italian starters. I doubt Caceres or Lucio will be starting any time soon over any of Barza-Bonucci-Chiellini.
That, if anythig, is an indication of the general lack of proven Italian talent in Serie A. Granted, there is a wave of young Italian players on the horizon, but I don't want to get into the abysmal policy of the treatment of Italian Youth right now. It's a battle I've been waging for 10 years now.
