Is a senior citizen from a non European country entitle to any reduction in the price of tickets (public transportaion,museums etc.)?

About 13 of us are travelling over the Bernina Pass on a Friday next July. We get into Milan from Rome on the 06:55 sleeper, and leave at 08:20, then get in to Tirano at 10:50 but leave at 11:27. We need a picnic for the ride over the top in our open top carriage. So I need either a deli right near Milan station that is open at 07:30 (tough call I think), or one in Tirano who would be able to make up an order in advance and have it ready or even bring it to the station square at 11:00. We'd be spending up to about 500-600 euros but will want something proper good for that. There's a place called Orlandi on the corner of setembrinni and scarlati which would be ideal, but the phone number I have doesnt work and I doubt he's normally open at 07:30, but who knows, may be there is early morning coffee commuter clientelle that he caters for. I know the timings suck, but then I wouldn't have a problem in such a part of the world. If I had at least a clear hour in Tirano we'd be able to do it on impact. But there's nothing I can do with the timetable, it has to be the 11:27 out and the only train out of Milan that will fit is the 08:20. If you know anyone at either that might do this, payment in advance, I have two Italians who can call them to discuss. Grazie
