It depends. It is complicated.
Go to the search window at the upper right hand corner of this page and do "cell phone Italy" or "iPhone Italy" (it makes a difference).
It is very, very expensive to do data from a US plan, so you will want to get this right. However, the issue has been covered so many times on this forum that you might as well get the basics down and come back with specifics.

Exactly what StCirq said.
If your phone is already unlocked, simply buy a SIM card when you get to Italy and swap it out for the existing one.
You can Google 'unlock phone' to do yours before you go. Cost me about $9 online for the code to unlock my Blackberry. Took 5 minutes, easy.
At the TIM store in Florence I paid 20 Euros and got an Italian SIM card, 100 minutes talk/text, free internet. It was worth the internet alone!
