I assume you have already attended the refreshment seminar 3 years ago, therefore this time you'll need a skill test with a FE.
Bad news from the Italian front: Internal FTO's FEs DO NOT exist in IT despite someone claimed a while ago that he could endorse my FI rating on behalf of ENAC. Unfortunately they (ENAC) are the only ones authorized and as every thing in the Belpaese you need to book ages in advance through an approved FTO, pay the fee and...wait for them to show up.
This is my experience, 6 months old. things might have changed and call me a pessimistic but...in worse! The whole AZ/CAI soap-opera is probably draining most of they attention.
Best luck
