The Eastlands outfit have been pursuing Balotelli for much of the summer and have finally landed him on a five-year deal after agreeing an undisclosed fee with Inter thought to be around £24million.
The combustible forward will not be available for Saturday's opening Barclays Premier League clash with Tottenham.
Boss Roberto Mancini told the club's website mcfc.co.uk: "I think that Mario is one of the best players of his age in Europe, and I very happy to be working with him again.
"His style of play will suit the Premier League, and because he is still so young there is a big chance for him to improve. He is a strong and exciting player, and City fans will enjoy watching him."
