Riccardo Accardi and Antonio Campo have also been banned and fined for their roles in attempts to fix matches.
Accardi was given a 12-month ban while Campo was suspended for four months.
Cecchinato, who is able to appeal, was found guilty of "several other instances of sports corruption" and suspended until January 2018.
