The 19-year-old scored 10 tries in 13 games for Saints to help them to the top of the Prem table, propelling him into the senior Italy squad.
But he tore a cruciate ligament in his right knee while training with the Azzurri ahead of the Six Nations.
"What can I say, this is rugby. Gutting to miss out on my first Six Nations and the rest of the season but proud of what I achieved," he posted on Instagram.
"Will work hard to be back, only a hurdle along the way. I'll be back with a new knee and the same smile."
Born in Milan, Todaro came to England at the age of 14 to study at Ipswich School where he was spotted by Northampton.
He played for Italy's under-18 team when only 16 and last year took part in the Under-20 Six Nations and World Cup.
