I had a Parker where the safety reset rod was not original and it was a bit to long. It would not allow the bolt to fully clear the bite. Putting more pressure on the lever when to the right would allow the gun to open. Since the safety resets, it sounds like the bolt is retracting but maybe not fully. Do these Fiochi's have a steel rim? If so, try opening the gun while someone else uses a ramrod down the barrel, pushing hard against the empty shell. If you do get it open, try dry firing. If it works empty, it is p problem with the shells.
