If i have business in MIL and i was routed via FCO, i would go definitely to LIN over MXP. More flights and closer to downtown...
Fair enough -- but JFK-FCO-LIN is just as time-consuming in the air as JFK-FCO-MXP.
If I face either possibility I would take a different airline, connect somewhere in Northern Europe and continue on to Milan from there.
