Make it down to Naples from Rome (not sure how many hours, but it looks close). Should be a cheap bus or train ride.
I found a one-way ticket from Naples to Amsterdam that will cast about 99 Euros (about $135?). That's what I understand (that you're going from Rome to Adam, then to NYC).
I used
Transavia.com (formerly Basiqair. They're based out of A-Dam).
Give it a second to load. If it doesn't come out in english when you get to their site, click the little English flag on the upper right hand. Also, if a pop-up comes up, click on the English flag.
Select - one way, from Naples to A-Dam.
These are the fares that came up. They're all one-way to ADam from Naples. Web/normal fares shown as does departure dates and arrivals and airport codes.
If you left Naples on the 12th, you'd save about $40Euros.
