AA offered this last year on their $0 LHR-CLE error. The deal was a 100% refund and all miles (EQM, RDM and bonuses) exactly as if flown. They were as good as their word, too with the miles posting a few days after the virtual mileage run.
Alitalia isn't organized enough to offer such a deal, and even proposing it will likely lead to us being collectively worse off than if no one had ever asked, if you catch my drift.
