Is there a total number of luggage pieces allowed

[gadiba]

Hi All,

I am getting ready for a trip on Alitalia from MIA to TLV through Rome. I have around 10 pieces of luggage with me and would like to know if I should expect any problems check in this amount of luggage. I know I will need to pay for anything above 2 pieces but is there a hard stop even when you are willing to pay?
Also- does anyone know of a way to check this luggage a day before my flight leaves?

Thanks in advance for your help.
