question for FCO regulars

Hi all,
not sure if there's anyone who can answer this - I'm looking at a Non-Schengen => Schengen connection @ FCO (QR to LX), connection time is 1 hour.
I haven't been to FCO for ages, so not sure how efficient the place is, especially around immigration?

Thanks,

FCO = Italy = union operated = efficient?

It is a worst organized chaos than most 3rd world airports.
Bear in mind that they also have ferragosto

Maybe you are lucky, being a frequent user of Italian airports I would rate your chance << 50% that you can make it.

1 hour is really risking it. Schengen to Schengen 1 hour is quite tight at FCO. Can you get a later flight with LX? Or- where is your final destination- perhaps take a QR flight to MXP or VCE and then onwards to ZRH (if that is your final destination or to ???)?
