You won't be able to apply online for sure with your italian address.

The only problem is the postal address, because now it seems that you can enter any SEPA IBAN, without any problem.

If AMEX France really don't want your italian address, then you can ask a relative living in France, or a mail forwarding, virtual post box. Once you're AMEX France client, they can send you card replacement anywhere in the world.

But I am really not sure if this is worth the hassle seriously.
