i don't require a visa for any of the stops on my itinerary.
As several others have noted, your return flight will be cancelled if you don't fly from Switzerland to Italy. But there is also another problem. When you land in Switzerland, you'll go through immigration and have your passport stamped, but any checked luggage you may have will go straight through to your destination in Italy.
