Don't know in Italy and unfortunately but I have yet to see a Giulia at a rental location in Europe.

BTW, It's not that special. Unless it's a quadrifoglio. It's a rather dull car.
My expectations aren't all that high, especially given that it would be a diesel automatic, yet it's an itch I want to scratch. The Giulia Veloce (and of course the Quadrifoglio) would be genuinely fun but I'm not prepared to shell out the crazy $$$ to rent one of those. An A4 or 3 series would be fun too.

True... though the fact that the Alfa is the only Italian model likely to be in that class, and probably the cheapest / most subsidised, makes me think that the chances could be decent.
