Only the spouse, the civil partner, the (grand) children, the (grand) parents and the adopted children of an EEA/EU National can apply under the visa category EEA/EU Family.
Family members of an EEA/EU National holding a valid UK Residence document do not need a Schengen visa to enter Italy, only if the following 2 conditions are met:
travelling with/joining the EEA/EU family member in Italy (EU Directive 2004/38/CE, as implemented by Italian law no. 30 of 6/02/2007)
the UK Residence document literally bears the wording:
Type of Document: "Residence Card of a Family Member of an EEA National"
All family members of an EEA/EU national travelling
without the EEA/EU family member must always submit the required documents for a Tourist Visa and will be subjected to the appropriate visa fee.
