All you need is the 2 blade to 2 pin adaptor. You won't find one in
Italy.

Sorry, but you're wrong. I've bought these in Italy many times.


You may have found them in Italy but they are not something you are
simply going to walk into an Italian hardware store and walk out with.
I just spent two years in Italy responsible for the engineering on a US
flagged vessel calling In nearly every port from San Remo to Messina.
Adaptors and Italian hardware stores occupied a large chunk of my time
as the vessel's guest would snag the adaptors I put out for them and I
always found it easier to replenish my supply when someone was coming
from the states. Don't mislead the OP into thinking they are common in
Italy when they aren't but they are common at any Radio Shack and
should be purchased in the US:')


They are common in hardware stores in cities frequented by tourists,
e.g. Rome, Florence and Venice, to name just a few of the cities in
Italy in which I've located them with no difficulty. Yes, the adapters
should be purchased here, but they will not be hard to find (except,
perhaps, at sea ports).
