Next summer UA would fly from more hubs to FCO than to star hub ZRH
Well we know that Etihad likes preying on weak airlines.... maybe there is a grand conspiracy for Etihad to take over United, and use Alitalia as a feeder for flights to Europe... hahaha

One a side note Alitalia does operate ORD - FCO but only during the summer.
