This campaign will be Treviso's fourth in the RaboDirect PRO12 and Smith's side are back in pre-season - their Italian internationals who featured in the quadrangular tournament in South Africa this summer aside.
And Zatta is determined to ensure Treviso continue to build on their progress from the previous season, claiming consistency will be key.
He said: "This year we can expect a particularly significant season. Our goal is to learn form the past experience and to grow further on. The watchword must be concreteness, something we lost sometimes in the past."
