I thought I had this figured out but when I actually looked at my converter I have the main box but then it comes with 2 plugs for Europe one said Northern Europe and one said Southern Europe. So the question is what one does Italy fall under? I thought I was all ready and now I only have 2 days to go. Can someone take me off of panic mode please.
Thanks

Probably southern Europe. It should have 2 round plugs. And most likely you don't need the big converter.
Italy has two round plugs. However, just to be safe, I would take both. Better to be safe than sorry.
If the appliances you're taking are dual voltage (110/120-220/240) you won't need a converter, only a plug adapter. If you do need a voltage converter, you'll need one with the right wattage for the type of appliance being used. See www.voltagevalet.com.
Italy should use the southern Europe adapter. The 2 round pins are slightly smaller in diameter than those on the northern europe adapter.
Take both. Take a deep breath. You're going to have a great trip. Enjoy.
