Thanks!
This is rather new. You don't need to wait to receive an offer - you can make a bid on any 055-issued Alitalia ticket (other than redemption tickets and others as excluded in the T&Cs) by visiting the "Get an Upgrade" page - powered by Plusgrade (as used by Etihad for several years already)

Buying shorthaul upgrades is generally a waste of money - and these don't give any increased mileage amount.
Might be of interest for longhauls, though.
