My question is: will I need to wait in baggage claim to receive my non-carry on baggage from Alitalia and then recheck it into the delta terminal, or will Alitatlia transfer it to a delta flight?
As a standard rule, if it's a single itinerary ticket, you don't have to pick up the baggage and re-check it.
Walk from the domestic gates to your Delta gate, clear immigration, enjoy a cold cappuccino and that's all.
