Balotelli had been without a club after his contract with Turkish Super Lig side Adana Demirspor expired in the summer.
The Italian forward will be making a return to the Italian top flight having played for Monza in the Serie B in 2020.
The Grifones, managed by Alberto Gilardino, currently lie in the 18th spot in the Serie A standings and will be hoping for a change in fortune following the arrival of the 36-cap Italy international.
Balotelli was part of Manchester City’s Premier League winning squad in 2012 under Roberto Mancini, and also won FA Cup with the team a season before.
During his time with Inter, he won six titles, including three Serie A trophies and the UEFA Champions League in 2010.
Genoa will host Fiorentina at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Thursday.
