If you are a member of American Express Membership Rewards you can transfer your Membership Rewards points, in 1,000-point increments, to your Alitalia account. Usually, 1,000 American Express Membership Rewards points equals 1000 Alitalia Miles.
Through October 31, 2016, there is a 25% transfer bonus to Alitalia. Instead of the normal 1:1 transfer ratio, the transfer ratio is 1:1.25. So, during the bonus period, when you transfer 1,000 Amex points to Alitalia, you will end up with 1,250 miles instead of 1,000.
