Really I agree with you. I'm just playing the devils advocate. It is a bit fishy though.

Casiraghi didn't really have many choices. He coached the youth team and could only select players of certain ages. His using of Giovinco only proved that Giovinco was better than the likes of Lanzafame, Abate, Russotto, players who aren't starting in their clubs at this moment, just like Giovinco...and Casiraghi just loved 4-3-3 he played this formation in any team he coached unless it's proved really impossible to be carried out. So he needed 2 attacking midfielders...
This is what Casiraghi said last year:" “Several players from this squad (Italian U-21 team of 2009) are ready to go to Marcello Lippi and the full national side in September. And if they don’t called straight away surely they will in a couple of years.
“Players such as Marco Motta, Mario Balotelli, Claudio Marchisio and Domenico Criscito are good enough to make it – but we all already know their names,†concluded Casiraghi.
He didn't mention Giovinco whichi probably means he didn't think Giovinco was good enough for the Azzurri. So it's not like Casiraghi considered Giovinco that great a talent after all. And it's not like Casiraghi didn't consider Giovinco because the latter wasn't starting for Juve because at that moment Balotelli was just a sub for Inter as Giovinco was.

Balotelli was playing way more than Giovinco and he was a regular up front with Zlatan. He was playing up front with Ibra most of last season and especially during the Spring(31 games last season for Balo). Giovinco was getting NOTHING out of Ranieri. Of course Casiraghi wouldn't call his name for Italy's senior team.
Giovinco was Italy's best player and he was running the show for Italy. He was Casiraghi's star and he made it to all the All Star teams during the U21 Championship here in Sweden.
"Sebastian Giovinco (Italy)
Livewire Giovinco was the fulcrum of Italy's attacks. He had a hand in three of Italy's four goals and his excellent set-pieces could have brought more. Fleet of foot and of mind, the diminutive forward was threatening on the right of a three-man forward line or in a deeper playmaker's role."

Sebastian Giovinco (Italy) – Admittedly a team with Ozil and Giovinco on the pitch would look rather odd, but a Team of the Tournament wouldn’t be complete without the genial attacker for Italy. His thrusting runs forward with the ball and excellent delivery from wide meant that the Juve man was always the heart of the Italians' creativity. Certainly one of the Azzurrini who could be expecting a promotion into the senior team for the World Cup in the wake of their failure to ignite in the Confederations Cup. He’s tipped to have a great future in the game, but needs to build on this performance by claiming a first team spot in the Juventus starting XI next season.

Giovinco was "The star" of the european cup that was played in sweden, he was chosen as "the most valuable player" in the Toulon Tournament (same award that henry have won when he was young).
Even in the beijing olympics i remember the chinese fans were loving him. If all these things doesn't prove that he's good enough to start in a team where players like grygera, molinaro, grosso, and others are playing week in week out then thats simply a joke.
