Italy prop Martin Castrogiovanni was cited on Monday for allegedly stamping on Scotland's Duncan Taylor during Saturday's Six Nations clash.
Castrogiovanni, who has made 118 Test appearances for Italy, appeared to direct a stamp towards Taylor's foot after coming on as a second-half replacement in Scotland's 36-20 victory in Rome.
If the 34-year-old is found guilty he could miss Italy's March 12 meeting with Ireland in Dublin.
Italy remain winless in this year's Six Nations tournament but a first victory would see them climb above fifth placed Ireland.
A statement from Six Nations organisers confirmed Castrogiovanni will attend a disciplinary hearing in London on Wednesday to answer to a charge of breaching Law 10.4(b) - "a player must not stamp or trample on an opponent".
