Calling To and From Italy

Calling Italy from the United States:  To call an Italian telephone number from outside Italy, either from a landline or a mobile phone, you will need to first get an international line, by dialing 011.  Next, add the international dialing code for Italy, which is 0039 (sometimes you'll see this written as +39), followed by the telephone number you require.

For example, to call our hotel from the U.S, you would dial:
011 39 0572 79271

Calling the United States from Italy:  To call home from Italy, you will need to add the international dialing code for the United States, which is 001 (sometimes written as +1), followed by the area code and telephone number you're calling.

Calling within Italy:  To make calls within Italy, dial the number you require without adding the international country dialing code.   To make calls from public telephones (which you can find on the street, in some bars, restaurants, etc and in shopping centres), you can use coins or phone cards, which can be purchased from tobacconists, news kiosks and telephone shops.
