Are you trying to use the following section? It wouldn’t necessarily be applicable unless the booking had an Italian point-of-sale.

The Passenger is not required to pay an extra fixed fee at the check-in moment. In the event the Passenger, for whatever reason, cannot use the ticket for his/her flight, and will still use the ticket for further legs (or in case of multi-leg tickets, for the inbound legs), the Passenger must notify KLM within 24 hours from the start of the first leg of the unused outbound flight. If the departure time of the return flight is within 24 hours of the unused outbound flight, the Passenger must notify KLM at least 2 hours before the departure of the return flight. In either case, the passenger must notify KLM by calling 02 3859 4998. In the absence of such communication, the Passenger will be treated in conformity with Article 3.4 (b).
If this is for an Italian point-of-sale ticket, then this thread can be useful:

Italian Point of Sale and Using Flight Legs Out of Sequence

Bookings via travel agency/online travel agency doesn’t invalidate that section, at least if the booking was made via the Italian nexus of a TA/OTA. Getting it to work? Well, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t even then.

Are “married segments” a legitimate way for KLM to get around the Italian rules?
