Yes.
Go to here:
http://www,kingofsat.net
in the box top right,enter BBC & hit search.Select the BBC channels from the list that comes up 7 then add the channels as per her satalite reciever instructions.
She'll need to know what satalite she's recieving from although I think it's 'Hotbird 8'0 -

Depending on where you are in Italy, you will need a large to very large satellite dish to receive most British channels.
It will need to be pointed at Astra @ 28.5 east ( not Hotbird )..
Best ask nearby Brit neighbours to see what size dish is required.0 -
Thanks very much, I will pass the information on.
