The area where you have to consider further relates to your point that other services were running to Italy - you could argue that BA didn't try hard enough to avoid cancelling the first flight, and the onus is on BA to prove that.
I have just found a photo which shows that on 22nd January there was a flight which left LHR going to MXP at 15.28 but it was an AA flight, could BA not have offered me that as a replacement for my cancelled LIN flight ? Could I use it as proof that flights were flying to Milan despite my LIN 14.55 flight being cancelled ?
Thanks.
