A minority investor in Telecom Italia SpA is considering to table an alternative slate of candidates for the company’s board, a move aimed at challenging the current phone carrier’s top management.

Merlyn Partners SCSp, an investment firm led by former JPMorgan Chase & Co. banker Alessandro Barnaba, could present the project at the firm’s annual meeting on April 23, according to people briefed on the matter.
