What voltage does Italy operate on?

Italy operates on a 230V supply voltage and 50Hz.
 

What is a dual rated appliance?

A dual rated appliance will display its input on the body of the appliance or on the supply. For example, ‘INPUT:110-240V'. In this case you would not need a converter or transformer but only a power adapter, because Italy operates on a 230 V supply voltage and is within the 110-240V range.
 

What plug adapter do I need for Italy?

Most gadgets guests take to Italy are dual voltage, which means they only need a power adapter. The most common plug types in Italy are C and F, with the possibility of encountering type L.

Plug C has two round pins

Plug F has two round pins with two earth clips on the side

Plug L has three round pins

For gadgets that aren't dual voltage, a power converter (or transformer) becomes essential to adapt to the 220 to 240 volts output. 

Pay special attention to high-power appliances like hair dryers or styling tools, checking the manufacturer's recommendations to avoid any inconvenience during your stay.
 

Do I need a 2 or 3 prong adapter for Italy?

Type L adapters have three round prongs in a row, and this is because some Italian outlets have three holes. However, if you are visiting Italy, it is suggested that you bring a Type C adapter as this should fit in most outlets with two or three holes. 
 

Can I use my European plug in Italy?

Yes, but it is advised to carry a Type C 2-prong adapter that will work in 2 or 3-prong outlets in Italy just in case.
