FCO-GRU

I'm about to book a trip to Brazil for this coming xmas and was wondering what kind of business class seats I should expect on the FCO-GRU itinerary?

I checked Alitalia website but there isn't much information as to their business class offering. Am I correct in assuming that the Magnifica class is the business class for long haul flights and that the Ottima class is the business class for short haul flights?

Last time I flew long haul business class with Alitalia, there was no IFE and very old business class seats.

Should I expect fully flat beds and "modern" IFE?

Thanks!

B777 aircraft fitted with flat beds & decent on-board entertainment.

And, indeed, Magnifica is the name of Alitalia's business class on long haul.

And quite possibly the best food you can find on a TATL flight.
