Proper electricity converter for Italy
Greetings,
I went into the hardware store to buy a converter to take to Italy this summer to charge my digital camera battery and there are options! I don't remember options! Can any of you experts tell me what I need to bring?
As always, Thanks,
Susan

what are you calling a "converter"? If you mean a plug adaptor you want the two round pins.
If you really are talking about a power converter, most battery chargers are already dual voltage.

Make sure you use the one for Europe. Recently I gave my brother a 2 prong adapter for France. When he got back he told me the pins were too short. It looks just like the Europe adapter but with shorter prongs. Don't know what this one is for. I always take them all when I travel.

Many outlets in Italy will be 3-prong like this one:

You will also encounter 2-prong:

Most converter kits have the Northern or Southern Europe converter tips-some of my appliances notice the difference in the two so take both. Walmart seems to have the cheapest converter or adaptor kits around.I have never seen a 3 prong adapter in all my travels in Italy or Sicily?
