Can fighters scramble into a seazone later in the round if they already participated in another fight and had to land?

If Italy used their 2 fighters to attack Greece and they moved them back to Italy, can they scramble those 2 fighters if the navy adjacent to Southern Italy is attacked?

Why not? The fighters’ attack takes place during Italy’s turn. When an enemy power attacks Southern Italy scrambling occurs as a defender’s move at the end of the attacker’s Combat Move Phase.
