Hi Jon,
 
The answer kind of depends on whether the transaction is business to
business or personal.  The difficulty is not the packaging or finding a
shipper but rather preparing the necessary documents that must accompany
the item.  Clearing customs with the appropriate paperwork if the key.
I recommend you job it out to a company in your area that has experience
with Italy.  The rules very greatly by country .  Good luck.
 
John

I need to ship something in the same size and fragility range as an M400
from Kansas to Italy. Can anybody offer any suggestions, advice,
warnings, anything to set me on the right path to succeed at this task?

Lots and lots of bubble wrap?    and insurance

Another way to avoid damage is to drive it to Italy.

The best way to make sure the contents don't get  damaged is to package the 
item inside a wooden box, and then to "float" that  box with lots of styrofoam 
/ insulation inside a much larger  box.
 
This way the outer box takes the brunt of all the  banging and the inside box 
does not incurr the any of  the impact.
