Wouldn't have thought so as crowds are not segregated.

Best to see if there are any travelling Italian Supporters Groups and see where they might be sitting.
Personal experience at Rugby matches being a minority or sole supporter is never an issue.

No ....... Although if things had gone differently between 1943 and 1945, there might have been.

The 1924 Olympics final match in Paris would have been a very bad game to have been a minority supporter...
From Wikipedia...
During the final between France and the United States at Colombes Stadium, French fans booed and hissed the American team. French fans threw bottles and rocks onto the field and at American players and officials, wild brawls broke out in the stands, U.S. reserve Gideon Nelson was knocked unconscious after being hit in the face by a walking stick, and French fans invaded the pitch at the final whistle, leaving the police to protect the Americans. At the medal ceremony, The Star-Spangled Banner was drowned out by the booing and hissing of French fans, and the American team had to be escorted to their locker room under police protection.
