Frank is right. The best thing to do is to take appliances that adapt to
multiple voltages. For every laptop I've seen in the last several years the
power supply says "90 - 240 VAC" or something like that. If yours says this,
all you need is a plug adapter to the round pin European plug.. Keep in mind
that Italy has at least two types of sockets (big & little) and you may need
more than one adapter.
