Also curious, the Alitalia logo is now gone from the Alitalia.com website, replaced by the text "ALITALIA IN AMMINISTRAZIONE STRAORDINARIA"

The Italy national football team is called Azzurri, which means blue, and the jerseys are that colour. So ITA is trying to associate themselves with other Italian things apart from the obvious Alitalia.
The livery is terrible though.

Anyone know when they will start selling tickets, launch operations and so on.

Are you aware Landor created the 1968 Alitalia green livery?

The livery is ugly, but blue is a symbol of Italy. Azzuri. It is much more than football though most closely associated with the sport.

Interesting link, thank you. Makes me wonder why they decided to stick to a mix of A319 and A320. Wouldn't it make more sense to keep the Embraers in addition to the A320? Seat difference between 319 and 320 is not that great.
