Can a non-EU citizen traveling with me come with me through the EU passport line?

I’m doing some travelling with my mate in a few weeks and I was wondering if, to save time, he could come through the Schengen border through the EU Line with me even though he is not a citizen?
I’m a dual Australian and Italian citizen, and he is an Australian citizen and has a 1 year residency visa (Italy).
Thanks!

Generally not. Non-EU citizens who are family members of EU citizens within the meaning of the free movement directive are entitled to use the EU passport lines at Schengen borders, but other traveling companions are not.
You can of course accompany him in the "all passports" queue. While that won't save any time, it should at least be less boring and/or more convivial.
Ah damn, thanks for the answer!
