Important Dialing Note
Italy is unique — you must include the leading 0 for landline numbers even when calling internationally. So a Rome landline is +39-06-XXXX-XXXX (keep the 0). However, for mobile numbers (starting with 3), there is no leading 0. Mobile numbers are dialed as +39-3XX-XXX-XXXX.

Tips for Calling Italy from the US
Italy is 6 hours ahead of US Eastern Time. Italians typically take a long lunch break (1-3 PM), so business calls are best made in the morning (9 AM-12:30 PM) or mid-afternoon (3-5:30 PM Italian time). For personal calls, early evening (7-9 PM Italian time) works well, as Italians typically eat dinner later (8-9 PM).
