TIP:
Make sure to pack a European plug adapter or buy one upon arrival to not worry about charging your devices while in Italy.

In any case, the Italy plug and socket can be used if you have a converter with round pins. Of course, it is advisable to have at least one Italy power adapter before the beginning of your trip to avoid any rush and inconvenience, but it also won't be a problem to buy one upon arrival to Italy.
