I must say that ISF does not get lost, in my experience, and tracking can be followed all the way through to destination, via the Italian website.
For cheaper items not worth it, probably, but many Italians don't mind paying for the signature and reliability of ISF, in my experience, so there is no cost/risk to the seller.
I don't know much about normal Airmail to Italy, only sent a few items, never lost anything.

ISF does not guarantee tracking as you know no RM service does. The reason it works for italy is Generally they are sticklers for officialdom, bureaucracy and forms. So any method that involves official forms seems to have a higher success rate in my experience.

Saying that though I stopped selling to Italy just because the buyers were expecting items next day. They seem to have this weird idea of how efficient their postal service is which bears no relation to reality.

Italian tracking has been 100% reliable for me, sending over 100 parcels a while back when I was selling a lot there. I don't know if I would trust sending untracked though.

Buyers wanting their items very quickly, thinking the seller has magic powers to get it delivered within 5 minutes of paying... never heard any british buyers expecting that....
and I'm sure when RM loses a parcel they are fully aware the seller is not to blame, and no seller got any low stars because of the bad weather over xmas...
