My iPhone 11 does have a physical SIM and a second slot for another one.

We fly into Rome and depart for Florence on the train. Upon departing Florence several days later I will pick up a car and we have several days of free time in Tuscany, with our hotel located in Siena. I imagine I will rely on Waze or Google Nav quite a bit.

What is the best method/company in Italy for me to get a local SIM for a 10 day trip?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.
fyi, AT&T will lock their iPhones requiring the user has to submit an unlock request after completing the payments. Your iPhone 15 may be locked which would prevent adding an esim.

To check your iPhone 11status: go to settings, general, about then scroll to Carrier Lock for the status. My iPhone 14 has “No Sim restrictions” which is unlocked. You can submit an unlock request through this link.
