It is OK to buy it on AF Italian website.

Better make double sure it is issued in Italy and use a VPN for an Italian IP.
All airlines have a similar clause:sine 2019:
Italian Point of Sale and Using Flight Legs Out of Sequence
It seems a bit risky. First the pax has to no-show, then notify the airline
within 24h after the departure time of the unused flight (that's what the law says).
If you originally booked a short transit at CDG that gives you very little time to get it processed. And the remaining flights will probably be originally cancelled once you no-show.
Any people with AF experience of the process?
