If you are planning to carry more than around 10,000 EUR or USD of value in any combination of currencies, even if going from Italy to France, and are crossing any national border, make sure to double check the transport/declaration requirements prior to the trip and count the cash and near equivalents carefully if not wanting to be subjected to asset seizure/fines.

So much for the EU having freedom of mobility for capital.
