there are quite many foreign pilots in Italy,especially in Air One,Volare,Eurofly and to a lesser extent in Meridiana too.
Low time pilots?well all (almost) the above mentioned foreign nationals are actually high time pilots with experience on the type concerened.
As far as Air One and Meridiana they are both TRTO's and do their training inhouse apart from the sims,i believe Volare does the same.
Giving it a try doesn't cost you anything.
good luck.
