The Italian Navy needs to be parked just off the African coast, so they can intercept these ships and return them back to Africa before they even get anywhere near Italy.
The migrants’ (and Soros’) whole strategy is to get close to Europe, then they can claim asylum & protection under the EU’s generous policies.
Don’t let them even get near Europe. You have to stop them before they even get started.

Navies are designed to project power. But a primary purpose is to protect the home coastline. So if the Italian Navy is not willing to do what you suggested, then there is no point in even having an Italian Navy.
Might as well scrap the whole thing in that case.
For the most part, the ships rescuing the migrants are parked right off the African coast and 99% of the journey takes place on the rescue ship. It’s a farce.
