The trouble is that neither of those seem to exist any more now that Alitalia has refurbished their lounges and renamed them to Casa Alitalia. Alitalia's website isn't very encouraging; their rules don't even mention non-Skyteam boarding passes.

Does anyone have any recent experiences flying with AB from an Italian airport?

I assume that I could always use BA's lounges there, but they'll be in the non-Schengen part and probably not worth the hassle.
