All responses are greatly appreciated.
There's a bus that goes from MXP-Central station every 1/2 hour. From there you can catch the EuroStar (i.e. bullet) train to Rome.
The Alitalia fares listed above look excellent and would be the easier alternative though. However, I wouldn't go w/Ryan Air - not only b/c of the already noted luggage issue but also b/c you find yourself in the position of having to get from MXP to Bergamo - which is a really pain.
