No, but they will reroute you on either another BA flight or another carrier should the worst happen. Chances of every single flight/route to Italy being full are slim.
I know it’s easier said than done, but try not to worry. Millions of passengers are flying at the moment, and most of them as planned (if a bit delayed). Absolutely have a back-up plan but always remember the chances are you’ll be fine.
