Francesco Valiani has scored a stunning goal as promoted Bologna beat AC Milan 2-1 at the San Siro to spoil Ronaldinho's Serie A debut.
Midfielder Valiani blasted the ball home from outside the box in the 79th minute after Massimo Ambrosini had cancelled out Marco Di Vaio's goal for Bologna in the first half.
Last year's runners-up AS Roma drew 1-1 with Napoli, which had defender Fabiano Santacroce sent off for a second yellow card in the 54th minute.
Juventus also drew 1-1 at Fiorentina, which meant none of Italy's big four made a winning start, after champion Inter Milan was held 1-1 at Sampdoria.
In Sunday's other matches, Torino beat Lecce 3-0 in Turin, Lazio came from behind to beat 10-man Cagliari 4-1 in Sardinia, Atalanta and Catania secured 1-0 home wins over Siena and Genoa, and Chievo beat Reggina 2-1 in Verona.
Those teams join Bologna and Udinese, which beat Palermo 3-1 in its opening game, at the top of Serie A.
