I just got the email from AZ about this too. If it is open in FCO (the email mentioned the next few days) then I should be able to check it out next Tuesday! Will be interested to see the "live cooking" area.

Looks nice, I might be tempted enough to go via FCO on my next AMS-TLV trip ;-)

Unlikely for Tuesday.
Some delay on the authorizations due, but definitely I guess is matter of few weeks at worst.

Finally a big step up from the 3rd world lounge system in Italy.

edit: FCO open today.

The OP wrote: former Giotto lounge - extra Schengen G gates. therefore, the answer to your question is simply NO!

At MXP, showers are available.

**Be aware that this is not a skyteam lounge. Rules about access eligibility are a little bit tricky **

Afaik, you must travel Alitalia or Etihad (including subsidiaries) operated flights to access the lounge.

Cheers

This article in Corriere della Sera does mention bathrooms with shower.

In any case I should be able to confirm later today as I will be flying out of T3 with AZ.

Yes, FCO has showers.
No Casa Alitalia access for T1 departures.

NAP is being refurbished therefore the adjoining Caruso lounge (OW and *A) is always packed, due also to the small size.

The live kitchen should be fun however, and I do like the crew uniforms (less the gloves).

Designer Ettore Bilotta.

Can T3 arrivals use Casa Alitalia if they have a T1 departure?

I am just curious what lounge I can use. Flying ORD->FCO->FLR all on Alitalia.

Unlikely.
You can access the rebranded Casa Alitalia (former Dolce Vita) at T1.
