Correction, having read that rule again, I think we'd enter at the 3rd qualifying round if we get in through losing the Coppa and finish in 6th place
the highest ranking nonqualified domestic championship club qualifies for the UEFA Europa League at the stage initially reserved for the lowest ranking top domestic championship representative |

Actually it's this second part that applies to us mostly but it's mostly saying the same thing, with a slight adjustment in this case, if we finish outside the European places, and the winner of the Coppa qualifies for the CL, the teams all move up a place, thus the 2 teams above us (Inter and Fiorentina) will go into the groups autmotically, leaving us as the only side to qualify through the 3rd round.
"If the winner of the domestic cup qualifies for UEFA Champions League, the access stage initially reserved for the domestic cup winner is reserved for the club which finishes the domestic championship in the highest position out of all the clubs which qualify for the UEFA Europa League from the association concerned (see Annex A). In both cases each representative of the domestic championship then enters the competition at the stage initially reserved for the domestic championship representative ranked immediately above it." Basically if things remain as they are currently on the table, this is what will happen. If we get into the European spots, then that extra EL place will be taken by the 6th place team anyway. So Italy is basically in a good position to have 6 teams in Europe next season. The only way Italy doesn't get those 6 is if we win the Coppa and finish outside of the European places |

So, if we win the Coppa we're in the group stages. If we lose but end up 6th then we enter the 3rd qualifying round. Got it. Thanks for looking it up.

Yep, at least that's how I interpreted that. Basically, let's see if we can manage to ruin those great odds |
