2 round pin, standard European continental fitting. Outlets supply 220v AC so if you are coming from a 110v area like north america you will need a transformer or your devices will fry.

There are small converters for small appliances that you could purchase for a small price. It plugs in directly to European outlets.
and convert the 220 to standard US 110.
Good luck and have fun in Italy

You to buy a transformer from 220 to 110 50 to 60 Hrtz because if you dont then it could run slow or wont heat up because of the megia hertzs.
