For Italy, you're better off with an Italian-specific adapter like this one Amazon link
Good to know and I'll bring one of those next week! But by year's end, I'll have been in Rome (three times) Sardinia, and Sicily. Stayed in regrettable Airbnbs and high end hotels. And I've never had this problem. So maybe it's becoming less of an issue?
