WE HAVE A PIP!

Yay! So exciting!

I am not sure when it happened because I wasn't at home for many hours and now it's night time here in Italy, so I am pretty sure I'll miss the hatch since I'll be sleeping

It's common to miss little things like this if you aren't watching the incubator at all times. Just calculate the 24hrs from when you first noticed the pip - usually they go from pipping to zipping within that time frame. Hatches don't happen quickly, so you might miss the first one, but you'll likely catch one of the others. I had one pip at 3am this morning and hatch around 6pm tonight. Have another one that pipped early afternoon that I expect to hatch by sometime tomorrow morning.

He hatched this night or early this morning! Another one has just pipped and the little chick is moving the egg around, I'm not sure what to do!

The egg will be fine. Just keep an eye on it in case the pip get rolled to the bottom

The problem is that the humidity is dropping and it has reached 64% now, should I quickly open and add water?

64% is still good. As long as it doesn’t drop below 60% but if you need to quickly add water that’s fine.
