There are a few scattered dates (mostly in August and September) when you can fly from Auckland (AKL) to Rome (FCO) via Sydney and Seoul for 5558 NZD in business. The outbound AKL-SYD flight is operated by Qantas and the inbound SYD-AKL flight is cheapest if operated by LATAM, but for a few hundred NZD more you can get a flight operated by Air New Zealand if you want as much of the trip to be operated by a Star Alliance airline as possible.
