Since you live in France and are interviewing in France are you not home?

Presuming you mean home to the native land - you will have to wait until the passport is returned to do that. Since the passport is required to affix the visa "sticker" into it, there are not alot of options but to wait until you receive it. Unless you are stuck in AP you should have it within a week to 10 days. If you are placed in AP - you can request your passport to be returned until such time that it is required to affix the visa into it.

Sorry but I am not to familiar with the requirements for traveling between countries in Europe and if there are any other options.

They won't keep your passport long, likely only a week or two at the most. If you think you may need to go to Italy on an emergency, try to organise a National ID now.
