Second half goals from French subs. Bastien Hery and new signing Christy Manzinga secured the victory in Nyon.
Linfield enjoyed the majority of possession in a first half of few opportunities with perhaps the best chance coming around the ten minute mark when Shayne Lavery's effort from a Niall Quinn through ball was blocked.
Kirk Millar was twice denied by the Tre Fiori keeper early in the second half as Healy's side stepped up a gear.
But the deadlock was eventually broken 20 minutes from time when Hery unleashed a great right foot strike into the top corner to give keeper Aldo Simoncini no chance.
Here's Hery:
Then, with seven minutes remaining, Manzinga made sure of Linfield's progression with a tap-in after Simoncini misjudged a Chris Johns punt forward.
Tre Fiori were reduced to ten men late in the game when Giacomo Procacci was dismissed by Hungarian referee Balazs Berke for a challenge on Millar.
Linfield: Johns, Larkin, Callacher, Millar, Lavery, Nasseri, Kearns, McClean, Mulgrew, Boyle, Quinn subs Moore (not used), Stafford (not used), Waterworth (replaced Nasseri 65), Manzinga (replaced McClean 66), Clarke (not used), Hery (replaced Lavery 67), Pepper (not used)
