The city, which is on the southern tip of Italy's boot-shaped outline, will host the event outdoors at the Rocco Polimeni club on November 7 and 8.

The US are favourites after Venus and Serena Williams said they hoped to play in the final despite having missed previous rounds.

Confirmation of the choice of venue is subject to a site visit by the International Tennis Federation.
