Hmmm....there should be no reason whatsoever why the tickets cannot be mailed to the creditcard billing address. This is actually a much preferred solution rather than fannying about setting up a PTA. The 'created in another country' is a peculiar way of explaining that a PTA has indeed been setup. I would certainly complain that the booking has not been setup as you expected.

BA (in the UK, at least) will be unable to mail tickets to any address other than the creditcard billing address. Whether someone in Italy would override this (despite it being utterly and explicitly against BA treasury guidelines due to fraud), I don't know. Nevertheless, I would hazard a guess that the answer would still be 'no', even in Italy.
