If you transit in Shanghai for less than 144 hours, you can enjoy the 144 hour free transit in Shanghai. You need to inform the airlines that you want to use the 144 hour free transit when you board the plane in Italy. After you arrive at Shanghai airport, you can go to the transit counter to apply for the free transit by proving your passport, the air tickets and valid visa for Japan.
