The latest figures I could find, from 2013, show that Italy is in 5th place with a little more than half the air passengers that the UK has.
Yes indeed I didn't make myself clear - amongst the most important in terms of passengers on a country-to-country basis and indeed Italy figures amongst the top -

But I think I saw a better table somewhere else (IATA website, possibly), showing the top 10 in Europe (amongst those, DE-IT, UK-IT, FR-IT).
