You will need a travel adapter/converter if you do not already have one! A travel converter or travel transformer changes the voltage coming out of the wall outlet to match the voltage of your technology such as your phone, hair tools, etc. Travel converters and transformers increase or decrease the voltage that reaches your device making it safe to use your electronics and personal-care appliances abroad. The prongs for your electronics are also different in Italy! You can search "best travel converter for italy" on Amazon to find a list of good options.
Just like in America, pickpockets are an issue in major cities! While we won't have to worry about this in San Severino Marche, you will have to be more aware of your belongings in Rome and other cities. Utilizing a crossbody bag or fanny pack to keep your belongings in front of you at all times is recommended. Don't plan to use your pockets or side bags!
There are a few helpful apps the couple recommends adding to your phone before you're in Italy! Apps like "Reverso Translate and Learn" and "Google Translate" can help you translate menus, signs, and more while you're abroad.
"Omio" helps you find accurate buses, trains, and ferrys if you plan to adventure on your own throughout your stay. The "Trenitalia" app and "Italo" app can also help you find high-speed trains when needed.
