Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb question. I googled it and I’m surprised I didn’t get a simple answer.
Traveling ONLY to Italy and ill need an adapter electronics like iPhone, Apple Watch, small travel sized hair straightener.
Is type C adequate?
Some of the adapter cubes look like over kill.

The wildcard is your hair straightener. Try to find a power input requirement (label, embossed somewhere) and hopefully it indicates that it is 110-240V or has a switch on it to change from 110 to 240V. If so, the type C adapter will work. If not, then just leave the straightener at home, or buy one that is dual voltage.

I use this one pretty much everywhere, including Italy. I like it because the prongs fold flat, has USB and USB-C ports.

I have one very similar to the one referenced above. It also has the folding prongs. Mine is a bit longer, though, and I had to "prop" it up a couple of times to keep it from unplugging.

I'd get the Rick Steves model. It's very compact, which is an important consideration. The folding model would be OK for me only if it had multiple US-plug outlets on it.
