Thank you to 13901 for his assistance so far.
Has anyone got experience of trying to book a Rapid Antigen test online at the facility in T1 at MXP run by Gruppo San Donato? It seems virtually impossible for a non-resident given the website is only in Italian, you have to register first before booking and as part of this registration it asks for an Italian Tax Code (Codici Fiscale). A temporary ((fake?) Codici Fiscale can be generated on-line but then the payment portal just seems to hang up each time.
3 weeks ago they accepted an e-mail booking but this time after 3 sent e-mails they just do not reply.
So does anyone have any experience of just turning up at MXP and having a test done....I really can't imagine many non-Italian folk having managed to book this online?
Update - I called the Centro San Donato's switchboard and as it always happens to me I got somebody who was on his first day as a human. Verbatim from the lady "Who knew foreigners didn't have a 'Codice Fiscale'!". So that was a bust.
I then got passed on to somebody else who confirmed you can email. When I said that nobody was replying they said "well they should". SEA Malpensa's chat operator wrote the following and then closed the case.
Buongiorno, i passeggeri stranieri che non sono in possesso del Codice Fiscale possono prenotare il tampone antigenico via mail a [email protected]
'Email the mail address above', basically. Typical Lombard customer care I'd say.
My 2p's worth: if you can get a test in English somewhere else, do it. If you can't, try with Auxiologico. If you reeeeeally can't go anywhere else, email them and then go to MXP anyway and - in true Milanese fashion - be argumentative.
