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 sent off an email last Tuesday (matching to my BA Gold and Turkish Gold) but my status still has not been updated. Any news on how long it's currently taking them?
I have some flights coming up and a choice of AZ/BA and would do AZ if I get the match soon enough to start earning and to keep the status with Skyteam.

Yeah, I guess so, but I won't be buying AZ until I know my status(and can leverage some upgrades). I also have some AZ flights I have not credited yet, and am waiting for upgrade to Freccia Plus and then retro-credit, should get me about 20'000 status miles to get started and a lot more award miles with the status bonus(provided it applies to retro-credit in the past couple of months, which, by knowing how great AZ IT is, it will :-)
