Excess baggage charge

The cost of baggage transport is included in the price of the ticket, up to the baggage allowance limit. If your baggage exceeds this limit, there is an excess baggage charge which also applies to some special baggage or to items which are declared to be valuable or are over-sized (maximum size: width 42 cm, height 70 cm, depth 40 cm).  

The maximum allowed weight for each single piece of checked luggage will be lowered to 32 kgs. (see above the "baggage allowance" limits).  

Boxes, crates, packages or single items of baggage weighing more than 32 kgs. Must be repacked to ensure the maximum weight is respected or sent as cargo.

Here are the registered baggage allowances for Alitalia flights:
