Argentine forward Giovanni Simeone scored the other two goals for the reigning Serie A champions at the Stadio Teofilo Patini.
Osimhen broke the deadlock in the 23rd minute before adding the second just five minutes after with a beautiful chipped shot over the goalkeeper.
Simeone made it three in the 64th minute and he got his second in the 70th minute to end the tie at 4-0.
The win was Napoli’s second in three pre-season games and they will face Spanish side Girona next on August 2.
Osimhen will look to help Napoli retain their league title when the Serie A season begins in August following their historic title triumph in the 2022-23 campaign, where he became the first African to win the Capocannoniere as the top scorer in the Italian top-flight with 26 goals.
