I'm currently in Rome, but wonder if I should also be making my way to MAD. I can't get out of FCO without significant expense before Wednesday but would consider trying to get over to MAD if it looks like FCO is going down.
You may be best off staying at FCO. My unoffical word is that the southern europe flights (lisbon, barcelona, madrid, rome) will fly first and some US airlines are seeking permission from the euro powers that be to temp add some extra landing/depart over the next 7-10 days. ^
