Come on, give Alitalia a chance! They are not that bad! I flew with them last year once from Frankfurt to Milan return and from Munich to Malaga via Milan and back.
The aircrafts are much newer now, you have enough space for your legs (I'm 1.91 m) and the stewardesses are not unfriendly. Additionally you get a nice glass of wine and a light bite, even on the shorter distance flights like Milan-Munich. Both in Frankfurt and in Milan I waited 0 minutes at check-in - something that has become rare these days (thinking about Iberia or Lufthansa). Only the check-in in Malaga was painful, it took almost 30 minutes. I cannot say anything negative about the Frankfurt - Milan flights, we arrived on time both ways. From Munich to Milan my flight was 2 hours delayed so I would have missed my flight to Malaga but they put me on Air France with little fuss and I arrived only an hour later than expected. On the way back I really flew Alitalia then and I arrived 10 minutes early in Munich! And of course I enjoy travelling with Alitalia as Milan/Rome must be the only airports in the world where you can get an excellent espresso for 1 €! So all in all if you are not on a very tight schedule and can live with some delay Alitalia is worth considering - I would pefer them eg to the Spanish flag carrier..
