Transiting Fiumicino without covid test
I know you can transit by private means without a test, does the same apply by air?
My flight has been changed from via Paris to via Rome and the test I took satisfies France's 72 hour requirement but not Italy's 48 requirement and I cannot find anywhere locally to give me a new test on a Sunday...
Itinerary is ATH-FCO-NCE.

For what I know you're not required to have a Covid test if you're not staying in Italy for more than 48h.

So, reading this I do not think it applies to those transiting by air.
Anyone with a first hand info? There are some reasonable tickets from the US with connection at FCO (going to Spain), but I am wary of buying those if I won't be able to use them.
