"Chip" Credit Cards in Italy
Is it necessary to get a card with a "chip" for a trip to italy? Right now, I just have the regular magnetic stripe card, but I've been told I should get one with a "chip". Truly necessary?

We were able to use a regular US credit card during our three weeks in Italy last May. We did request chip and signature cards from two of the companies with whom we have credit cards but they were not required. I believe chip and signature credit cards are supposed to be issued routinely soon.
