Have any bills that will come due while you are gone that you should take care of?
Did you call your credit card company to let them know you will be out of the country? I always have to do this with mine or else their fraud alert system gives us trouble.
How about the garbage cans?
Stopped the mail?

These are the essentials in my mind:
1) Plane ticket or printout of confirmation number and itinerary from airline
2) Passport
3) Money in many forms
4) Prescription eyeglasses, contacts, and/or medications
5) Comforts and entertainment for the plane ride
Most anything else you could purchase in Italy if it came down to that.

Degas, I'm surprised at you for forgetting two essentials:
1- Stop at Miss Piggy's Barbeque Emporium for airplane provisions.
2- Take in those front porch tire planters in case a storm brews while gone.
Speaking of brews, a six-pack to go with Miss Piggy wouldn't be a bad idea.

Platzman, thank for reminding me of those very important actions.
Fairhope, it?s good to see you are in the right frame of mine to win friends and influence strange foreign people on this trip.
Regarding barbeque, I have Sonny?s Smokehouse airmail me a batch every day when I am in Europe. Sure it?s expensive, but one should not eat too much bland food cooked without enough salt, sugar, butter, and lard. Getting puny can ruin a trip.
One other suggestion, look in your front yard and make darn sure all your inoperable cars are centered securely on the concrete blocks in case a wind storm comes up.
