I'm guessing UA offered to put you on another flight but you choose to buy a new ticket to get to Rome sooner??
It appears
mknoebel used a MileagePlus card, which means the specific terms of the coverage may be different, but the general principles discussed in the Wikipost will be the same.
It sounds as if the Paris to Rome flight was on a separate ticket, and UA would not have provided any protection for the missed connection.
