COMMENT/OBSERVATION
When traveling to Italy with your laptop, there are 2 essential adapters you will need. They are the following:
- Electrical plug adapter required to convert USA plug to work in Italian electrical outlet. Depending on the age of the building you are in, you may need a 2 or 3 prong adapter. For further information, please read appropriate section(s) of the blog entry titled, Info about electrical plug adapters, power strips and voltage converters for Italy
- Telephone plug adapter required to convert the RJ-11 plug to work in the Italian telephone outlet. Please scroll down to the word "Italy" in the following web sites:
Caveat #2: Another thing to remember when traveling with your laptop to Italy and abroad, backup your critical documents and files to DVDs, CDs or an on-line storage somewhere and either place them in a secure location away from your laptop or someplace safe. You do NOT want to to lose your only copy of a dissertation, digital photos, research paper(s), project files, thesis or whatever because your laptop got stolen or damaged.

Grazie!! This entry is a big one for me! Since my work and study material is INSIDE my laptop! and I worried about the Italian outlets...
These articles will help me a lot. Thanx!
Hi, another thing you should consider: buying an UMTS card and a prepaid card. I am working with TIM and am really happy with that (coverage, speed). It costs less than using a webcafè, you can use your own laptop and don't have to leave sensitive data! I found all the infos on squidoo and saveonroaming.net
