that’s a good distance from London to Italy which means you won’t arrrive until noon or well after which means your first day is wasted and you’ll be exhausted.
The reason I wanted fly British Airways, is that it allows us to leave Wednesday night and get there Thursday afternoon. We can settle in, get a meal and get a good nights sleep so we can start fresh Friday morning. Any other flights would make us fly out Thursday morning or mid day and land Friday morning, making it a jet lagged exhausted day.

So, you want to spend an extra $1500 so that you can arrive late in the afternoon? OK, if that's what floats your boat, but I don't understand why you made a post about how expensive the flights are.
But, if arriving later is really what's important, there are still less expensive ways to arrive later in the day.
If you want to arrive in the afternoon (you still didn't say where in Italy you are flying, but I'll assume that it's Rome), here's what you can do:
You can buy a MSY-JFK nonstop RT with Delta for under $300. You can then fly in Premium with Norse Atlantic JFK-FCO for $1588 per person (or $662 in regular economy) and arrive at 3:15 PM.

I’m not sure how much international travel you’ve done and I hope this isn’t condescending. Jet lag can be an issue but it’s not THAT big of a deal for Italy or near there. We landed in the morning after flying coach and just pushed through the first day crashed that evening and then had little issue the remainder of the trip (14 days) when we did Germany and Italy in 2022. I was 45 and kids were 17 & 18 just for reference. This past summer was London, Paris, Cologne, Bastogne, and Berlin with similar times of arrival and shorter duration of trip. We were able to bump up to premium economy this go round which was much better than coach but not $4k better.

You are going to be exhausted day one no matter what. But if you want a cheaper way to Italy plenty of options.
