Juventus's Serie A clash at home to Parma on Sunday has been called off following the death of a visiting female fan at a service station.
The incident happened on the same round of matches as the death of Lazio fan Gabriele Sandri back in November.
He was accidentally shot by a policeman after violence broke out between travelling Juventus and Lazio fans at another service station.
The 28-year-old woman died following skirmishes between rival fans at the rest stop on the A21 motorway between Turin and Piacenza, Ansa reported.
The death of Sandri back in November sparked violent protests in several grounds around the country leading to some matches being postponed.
