    Thank you very much, I understand. And I appreciate it's not their fault for not speaking English but it was very frustrating in my situation...

    @Arthur If I were you I would check the airline’s T&C. It’s possible they might state that the passenger is liable not only for the costs of the return flight after being denied entry, but also for any fine imposed on the airline.

    Although "barely spoke any English" is hardly their fault in Italy. :/ Well, it was an international airport. where English is lingua franca. Customer facing personnel should know enough to get by.

    @RogerDahl: these were policemen/border control agents. The people they process are not customers, but citizens. Of course, this does not excuse any rudeness from their part. Commented Dec 15, 2019 at 19:26
