No you cannot take this route with a pass. Frecciarossa doesn't accept Interrail/Eurail on their trains to France.
Alternative : TGV to Chambéry (30€) and TER to Lyon. However check if it is not sold out, it likely is. This route still seems possible :
- Frecciarossa Bologna Centrale - Torino Porta Susa 14:36 - 15:49 13€
- TGV Torino Porta Susa - Chambéry 17:30 - 20:14 30€ (almost full)
- TER Chambéry - Lyon Part-Dieu 20:44 - 22:10
I'd consider travelling via Switzerland. Not much longer and way cheaper (or even reservation-free from Milan but it's a bit long).
I'll post a timetable example for tomorrow. I guess you'd like to leave around midday ?

There are some trains where the pass is not valid and you found one. You can exclude them with the filter.
Please ask questions in the community and not via a private message. That's the quickest way to get a response. I don't work for Eurail/Interrail.
Hi, thank you so much for the clarification! Yes, i think we will leave before noon in that case..
Here would be a cheaper route via Switzerland :
- Frecciarossa Bologna Centrale - Milano Centrale 10:56 - 12:00 or 11:36 - 12:50 13€ seat through tickets.oebb.at (see later)
- EC Milano Centrale - Geneva 13:05 - 17:21 10€ seat reservation for Milano - Domodossola through tickets.oebb.at : add Eurail as a discount and select one-way tickets. You then stay on your seats to Geneva (optional reservation)
- time to walk around Geneva for a while (go to the lake)
- TER Geneva - Lyon-Part Dieu 19:14 - 21:22 reservation not possible
ÖBB is the best place to book as there are no booking fees
