Both matches will be played in C.S. Vismara di Via Dei Missaglia 117, a Milano.; and both matches are "second match days".
By the way, Giacamo Berreta(?), we bought all his contract, or was there some co-ownership involved?

Thought this will interest you, there is an article on tuttomercatoweb about it, but this is in English and gives enough info.
"Not sure is this is an actual story yet, or still just a rumour, but Italian website Datasport is claiming that we’re about to see a “Baby Champions League” where European youth teams would play for a trophy.
According to their report (translated version here) the European Clubs Association met in Geneva and agreed to get this going in the 2010/11 season. Not as a separate competition, but more as a showcase to run alongside the actual UEFA Champions League.
As I understand it, the youth squads of eight Champions League quarter-finalists in 2010/11 will play each other, with the youth matches being played a week earlier than the big boy matches. Then in 2011/12 (again, according to Datasport) the Baby Champions Leauge will be expanded to feature the youth teams of all 32 clubs that make the Champions League group stage.
Obviously the details are unclear. What’s the upper age limit for example? And it seems a little odd that the youth teams only qualify for the tournament as a result of what the seniors do. But still, I can’t help being fairly excited about this. Seeing the next generation of Leo Messis and Mario Balotellis compete against each other has to be a winner, and if it’s anything like the U-20 World Cups then count me in.
The one big potential downside… would this added exposure for youth teams lead to the big European clubs poaching young talent even more aggressively?
Expect Lens, Le Havre and other French clubs to add extra security to their youth team facilities."

If this is any close to reality, then this is a very very important tournament. It has its downs, but at the end of the day, most team that will participate probably have the strength to keep hold of their youth. This tournament will give great experience to the youngsters, and help us take a look at what they might do.
