Rome's move came after Sinochem notified the Italian government in March of plans to renew and update an existing shareholder pact with fellow investor Camfin, the vehicle of Pirelli's CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera.
Rome also ruled Sinochem should pick no more than eight members of Pirelli's 15-strong board, leaving four to Camfin.
Pirelli shareholders vote to pick a new board on July 31, with current deputy CEO Giorgio Bruno set to replace Tronchetti Provera, who would stay on as executive vice-chairman.
Analysts see the move as an initial step to build an alternative and stable group of Italian shareholders for the company.
