Your itinerary is definitely covered by 24 hour visa free transit. In case that you wish to exit the airport you will have to apply for 24 hour free entry permit upon your landing in Shanghai. Anyway, you should be aware that this permit is not a passenger's right, but more a privilege that is issued upon a discretion of immigration authorities on the day of your arrival in Shanghai.

To conclude, you will declare in Rome that you will fly to Singapore via Shanghai using 24 hour visa free transit and not "transit permit". There is an entry permit and it is issued to passengers who have to exit the transit area because they have separate tickets and have to perform new check-in and also to those who have longer layovers, like you do, and wish to exit the airport to enjoy the city before they continue their travel to the final destination.
