Donadoni's choices were limited by injuries to several of Italy's regulars, including midfielders Gennaro Gattuso and Simone Perrotta, and strikers Alessandro Del Piero, Luca Toni and David Di Michele.
There were first call-ups for AS Roma midfielder Aquilani and Milan midfielder, who both gave lively performances in Roma's 2-1 win over Milan at the San Siro on Saturday.
There was also a return for Milan striker Alberto Gilardino, who was part of Italy's World Cup-winning squad but whose slow start to the season led to him being left out by Donadoni for the Azzurri's last two Euro 2008 qualifiers against Ukraine and Georgia.
