Terminal A (domestic) may be a problem, but terminal B and C (international) offer a nice option on the first floor. Try the area above the check-in counters, exactly between B and C. It's silent, peaceful, not brilliant light, no loudspeakers or TV with commercials. Seats in row of 4 are good to sleep and can be moved.

Arrived around midnight and unfortunately was too late to secure a bench -- so I took a cue from many people already sleeping on the wide green window-sills above check in in Terminal B/C and spread out there. Bad idea: first of all the AIR-CONDITIONING vents are on those window sills, so it's freezing, and second of all the one I was on was NARROW, so I spent much of the night worrying I'd roll off and into the arms of whatever skeezy guy happened to be walking by staring at that moment. Bright lights, continual passerbys, loud talking, cold -- and as if all that wasn't enough, at some point in the middle of the night my window sill began SWAYING vigorously like we were on a ship in stormy waters. "That is IT!" I thought, "this airport SUCKS!"
Turns out that was the magnitude 6.3 L'Aquila Earthquake that killed nearly 300 people -- but caused no apparent effect on travelers at Fiumicino. Check-in counters opened at 4 a.m.; Lufthansa ticket sales at 5 a.m.; and business resumed as usual. Only found out later what had made my window sill sway like that..!
