How to claim from Italia Traspoto Aereo
Italia Traspoto Aereo takes compensation claims through its own online form. Compensation is not paid automatically, so nothing happens until you claim.
ITA Airways processes compensation claims only through its online contact form, and explicitly warns passengers that claims companies charge fees for a service it provides free.
If Italia Traspoto Aereo refuses and you think the refusal is wrong, the next step is the Civil Aviation Authority's Passenger Advice and Complaints Team, which can review the refusal and press the airline, though its finding is not binding. You do not need a solicitor and you do not pay to use it.
You can claim directly yourself and keep the whole payout, or a claim firm will do the chasing for a share of it. Both end up at the same place.

What the rules turn on
Where the flight departed decides everything, not the airline's nationality. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by UK261 whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by EU261. A delay of 3 or more hours on arrival pays £220 to £520 per passenger when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
