Update summary from nufnuf77:
The status update currently seems to take about 15-20 calendar days. No email is sent immediately upon upgrade, but one may be received later (within a week or so). One has to visit the MilleMiglia site and look at one's card displayed under profile. The upgrades are probably processed externally to Alitalia, as neither Freccia Alata Plus line knew anything about it and one member received and email back from external processing team.
Physical card and upgrade voucher code to give status to someone else - 'Freccia Alata for you' are reported to arrive approx 5-10 days after the upgrade has been processed, depending on your postal address.
The coucher for 'Freccia Alata forYou' arrives in the welcome pack and has instructions and rules on how you can use this unique code to upgrade a family member/friend to Freccia Alata status for free. Can only be used once and the person receiving cannot be changed after it is applied.
The 'Business for you' upgrade (4x) is available from the moment one's status shows as Freccia Alata Plus. These 4 upgrade vouchers can be used for oneself or any other nominated person, and can be used by phoning the call centre. To upgrade, the original flight must be booked in P(Classica Plus) or Y, B, M and H(Classica). Upgrade inventory needed seems to be 'Z' class for business and 'A' class for Classica Plus.
It costs: 1 voucher to upgrade P-->Z(Business);
1 voucher for Y/B/M/H-->A(Classica Plus);
2 vouchers to upgrade Y/B/H/M-->Z(Business).
The new expiry date (March 2016 or 2017) will depend on your current status/card submitted, as per this quote from Alitalia:

I emailed my status match request (Airberlin Gold valid to Apr-16) on the morning of 7th July ... checked this morning and it wasn't showing online ... just checked the website again now, and I've been upgraded to Freccia Alata ... with a March 2017 expiry date.

No-one has said that you don't get a mail - eventually.
Where the email has been mentioned, it has usually been to point out that there can be a considerable delay between having your account upgraded, and receipt of the notification email. The email is not (always) generated at the same moment that your account is upgraded (I suspect it is instead triggered by the generation of the new card, or some other subsequent action).
The terms of the Status Match do indicate that you will receive a mail.

No email is sent upon upgrade
You are right that the email come later. In my case, I saw in my account that I have been upgraded, then I receive the email later.
You may be right that the email may have been triggered when the card is sent for printing and the account status is updated in the system earlier

So this may need to get updated.

Sent original request 2. July to match AB Gold. Sent new request now with TK Gold as most who sent original request early on seems to have been matched. Perhaps my email got lost somewhere...

Really baffled how this process works... and how, allegedly, these status match requests are dealt with externally rather than by Alitalia themselves.
Sent an initial email on 15 July, followed by at least 4 follow-up emails, and still no reply or upgrade. If it were not for their linkage with Skyteam, I don't know why I would want to fly with Alitalia. Their, or whoever's, efficiency is sheer epic.
