Premier Mario Draghi was also meant to take part in the trip but had to pull out because he has contracted COVID-19.
Italy currently imports around 40% of the gas it uses from Russia.
Cingolani has said Italy should be able to end its reliance on Russian gas within three years.
Italy recently signed an important agreement to increase the amount of gas it gets from Algeria.
