Returning to the Italian top-flight after a three-season absence, Serie B champions Parma begun their league campaign with a more than respectable home draw with Fiorentina, while Milan needed late heroics from Alvaro Morata and Noah Okafor to salvage a share of the spoils against Torino at San Siro.
