This is a summary as of now, more additions/changes can occur for Summer 2008 for AZ:
There are many new routes being added from FCO that have been eliminated at MXP. LOS and ACC have in fact not been eliminated. DKR seems to be happening too from FCO, but has not been confirmed yet.
Again, thank you to my friends at aviazionecivile.it for the info.

Judging from this, it does indeed seem that FCO will become a fortress hub for Alitalia. MXP has been reduced to a small focus/feeder airport in comparison. Linate sees modest increases.

Are those LHR being used to increase LIN/FCO or being sold to get AZ some much needed cash? A good move by AZ since their LIN service can serve the Milan-London market and for those to whom MXP is closest, there is still BA (plus EZY to LGW)

AZ will have 10 flights/day to LHR. 5 flights from FCO and 5 flights from LIN.
Quoting QLS (Reply 18): What about European network out of FCO? Are they going to increase FCO-GVA, FCO-VIE, FCO-ATH... etc...?
The schedules are uploaded, check on the AZ website.
So AZ will be cutting 2 flights daily from Italy to LHR.
