Sadly for individuals like myself ( UK CPL IR) that only fly single pilot and haven’t got an ATPL it doesn’t apply if the theory exams were completed over three years ago.
For ATPL holders though it says so long as your type rating or Instrument rating has not lapsed more than 7 years you can convert subject to an initial class one medical as well.
On the whole though I’d say there is a little bit of light shining at the end of the tunnel as when I last checked a few months ago the Italian CAA was expecting the full 14 exams and flight training in an ATO.
