The airline will have five weekly flights between L.A. and Rome, beginning June 5. Service will include hot Italian meals, wine and snacks. Alitalia stopped service from LAX in 2002, the result of fewer post 9/11 traffic.Service was resumed in 2008, but then stopped after five months because of the recession.
