Have you checked to be sure your phones will work. You will need quad band phones if you are coming from the US. Also their may not be 3g in the mountains so internet will be painfully slow. Maybe your hotel has WiFi? Also cell phones have a problem in older buildings in Italy because of the 3 foot thick stone walls so you may have to go outside to get reception.
I'am sure there are cell phone shops in the airport and all they need is to copy your passport and take your money!
