Ask at check-in when travelling with an infant. Request it in advance if possible — availability can be limited.
'Culla' is a baby cot/cradle. Not to be confused with 'lettino' (small bed, for toddlers) or 'seggiolone' (highchair). 'Ho bisogno di' (I need) is the standard phrase for expressing need in Italian, literally 'I have need of'.

Ask about highchairs separately from cots — they are different items
