How does this work in Italy? Does it have the proper plug already or do i need an adapter to use in Italy?

If going from the US to Europe, you will need an adaptor, but it works great with a cheap ($2) adaptor. I've used it in Spain a lot, and plan to use it again this summer.

I've only used it so far in Glasgow and it performed well, not great. It needs an adapter overseas. Plan on taking it with me wherever I travel. You can get a package of multiple adapters for about $20+ at Radio Shack. The dual voltage advantage allows you to just plug it in in the U.S.

Hi Daniel, the voltage output in Europe is 240v, therefore whatever electronic you plan to charge needs to be able to accept 220v or higher. The important thing is the read your labels for ur electronics. If your electronic can except 220v you still need an adapter to be able to plug in your electronic devices because the outlets are different. But I wouldn't buy this flatiron it makes your hair freezy. I would recommend brand hot&silky; tourmaline ceramic ionic flat iron it worked very well throughout Europe, from Spain & throughout Italy & France.

I haven't used it overseas yet but it's a regular plug -- so yes, you do need an adaptor. It automatically switches between voltage so there is no button or dial for that. Hope this helps.

yes it does, I use it in Italy and it works perfectly, the adapter switches automatically...

Hi Miranda - they said it was "European" and worked in Italy - it didn't. The prongs were not far enough apart. I did have a friend who loaned me a power strip which also had two USB ports for phone charging - that is the way to go

We just returned from two weeks in Italy. We used the charger with a 100-240 V AC plug and adapter for the Italian wall outlets and it worked beautifully.

I just returned from Italy (Welsberg, Florence, Rome). In both Florence and Rome, the Two hole adaptor worked in almost all three hole plugs, (They have enlarged the two outer prong holes on most outlets to accommodate them.) However, if you have the three prong plugs, that is their standard in Rome and Florence. Up north near Austria, the two prong is the standard.

Yes and no. It will work with *some* outlets in Italy. Most hotels will have two types: the standard 3-pins in a vertical row Italian outlet, and the 2-pins in a recessed circle outlet that is a EU standard. This will only plug into the EU-style outlets. The hotels I stayed in only had 1 EU-style outlet, and I had to search the room for it! (one was by the thermostat, and the other was under the desk (vs. the 3-pin outlets at desk-height). Hope that helps! =)

It will work in Italy if you take along a plug adapter for Europe. It has 2 round prongs to plug into the Italian outlet. Then you plug the flat iron into the adapter. You do not need a converter, because the flat iron has the conversion built in.

It all depends on the region you are in. I noticed there are two different diameter plug sizes. This particular plug will work in Venice. Yes, there are two plugs that will work and not be grounded. I actually have both sizes of the two pronged plugs. I know that really muddies the answer but there are two diameter two pronged plugs out there. Sorry this isn't more help.

Martino, I'm not sure if it will work in Italy. All I know is that it works fine in Afghanistan. Regards.

I recently purchased and used this converter in France. It worked well there, but I am not sure about Italy.

I used this in Italy for two years with just the adaptor and although it worked, it did get really hot and would turn off on its own...I suggest you use a converter! I never did and when I got back to the States it broke:(

I am now using it in Hong Kong (220V) and I need an adapter as the pins of the plug are different. Depends on what kind plug/pins do the sockets in Italy allow, you probably need an adapter which you can easily purchase in the market.

I happen to be in Italy and it works fine on the iPhone 4, the Ipad, and the IPhone 5s. I assume it will work properly for you too. Be sure to take a plug converter with you to plug the wall charger into the wall. No need for any other equipment.

You might need a plug adapter. The US has 110 Volt outlets, but other countries have 220 Volt outlets. I'm not sure about Italy.

I was travelling with a group of friends, some of whom who had 2-prong adapters, and they worked at the places we stayed. I had a 3-prong adapter that worked everywhere I stayed in Italy. I think the answer to your question is yes.
