In
general it makes sense to fly through a North American Gateway city.
These you will find about by doing a general search for flights in the
sites below. For example flying from Miami gives you the
opportunity to change carrier to Taca Airlines. However it may be
cheaper using Continental via Houston as then you don't need to change
carrier and Continental though they are fighting hard Taca for bottom
spot in terms of quality just loose out as they are slightly better and
less likely to loose your luggage. But in most cases unless you live in
North America then you will probably have to stop overnight on at least
one leg probably getting there.

From Europe to Roatan
To
get into Roatan from Europe direct is almost impossible unless you can
get on the charter but it usually requires a stop over in Milan or Rome.
You can fly into Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula from most international
carriers.
Another popular method that is enjoyable is overnight in Houston or Miami.
For the direct from Italy charter check google for 'Blue Panorama' and 'Neos Air'
There
are some charter flights that leave Italy but the websites seem to come
and go Neos air, blue panorama have been in the past. Obviously these
flights are not meant to be booked by anyone other than Italian
holidaymakers however I myself have cheap flight into Milan then
overnight and resumed in the morning direct to Roatan. This was working
out around the same price as going via the USA.
So flying via Miami
or Houston may be the best option for you bear in mind that a transfer
even if you don't leave the airport in Houston will require you to clear
immigration and do the ESTA visa waiver online.
From within Central America.
Taca
offers the better options as they fly into Roatan directly. You can
travel by bus to La Ceiba the ferry. To note that there are around 3
flights daily from within Honduras to Roatan from San Pedro Sula or La
Ceiba or Tegucigalpa.
