how many prongs are used in Italy 2 or 3
1056919
Three prongs (in a line, not a v). For whatever reason, we found Italy to be different from other places we went in Europe.

I believe two! But double check, and you need to know the shape of the prongs.

First one I ordered was 3-prong and it stopped working about 2 weeks after I got it. The second one I ordered (same link and everything) through a different seller, was 2-prong :/

I did not find any information about this, but there are only two plug-in prongs on this product. You may want to do some research online in order to get a better clarification about the safety of this type of product.

Hi, I found the standard to be all three prong, not really two prong. They're cheap enough so get at least one two prong if you're worried. You'll be more than happy with the Orei grounded universal, thats all I used. Good luck :)

It's a three prong. I bought the American Dj Ftimer Dyno Ii Timer For Dyno Fog Ii and it worked fine.

Yes, it has the 2 types of european adapters (2 prong & 3 prong) as well as US adapter (both styles are used in Peru.). This a very good adapter, best one I've had so far.

3-pronged, it is. Be careful if you're using an adapter, though since not all of them are compatible.

On the two pin plugs I have seen both types but I have not been to Italy so I do not know which is more prevalent. Maybe someone else can help.

The plugs will only accept 1 ungrounded plug each. They work in Spain but we were not in Italy. In any event, as part of the amazon description you should be able to determine which countries it works in. That's how we determined which plug to buy.

The "third prong" (the round post) is your ground post, so if you can only use two prongs, then just remove the round post or 3rd. prong. Of course by doing so means whatever you use these cables on, you appliance will not be grounded. You must have older wiring in you home. There is another way you can solve this problem, that is buy an attachment with only two prongs to plug your 3 prong into!

It all depends on the region you are in. I noticed there are two different diameter plug sizes. This particular plug will work in Venice. Yes, there are two plugs that will work and not be grounded. I actually have both sizes of the two pronged plugs. I know that really muddies the answer but there are two diameter two pronged plugs out there. Sorry this isn't more help.

Hi, i think so. I have an adapter kit that I keep in my suitcase for this reason. But I travel to France and can't remember what the prongs are like in Italy. I think they may be similar. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer.

I purchased the Type L grounded plugs for Italy. They worked great. But we did run into an issue at an older hotel where there were wasn't a 3rd hole in the outlets for a grounded plug adapter - one with 3 prongs. So I didn't use the adapters there - luckily my hair dryer had dual voltage & worked fine without the adapter. Hope this helps.

You must look on your power supply, charger. Most of the newer ones are made for an input of 50-60 cycles 110-240 volts AC input(they usually use switching technology). Should work ok. Italy uses 50 cycles at 240 volts AC if I remember correctly.

I just returned from Italy (Welsberg, Florence, Rome). In both Florence and Rome, the Two hole adaptor worked in almost all three hole plugs, (They have enlarged the two outer prong holes on most outlets to accommodate them.) However, if you have the three prong plugs, that is their standard in Rome and Florence. Up north near Austria, the two prong is the standard.

I was travelling with a group of friends, some of whom who had 2-prong adapters, and they worked at the places we stayed. I had a 3-prong adapter that worked everywhere I stayed in Italy. I think the answer to your question is yes.
