Rome money
In common with many European countries,
the currency in Italy is the Euro. You'll find that in Rome money can
be changed at banks, foreign exchange bureaus, ATMs or your hotel, although
this later especially is likely to give you a poor exchange rate.

ATMs can also be expensive as they can attract a high
fixed fee - €25 is not uncommon with some cards.
Use of credit cards
Credit cards are not as widely used in Italy as the United
States. Always check that you can pay by card in a restaurant and you
may be able to negociate better prices in shops by offering cash.
Currency restrictions
Although there are no restrictions on the amount of money
you import to Italy you may export currency up to a value of €12,500.
You should therefore declare the import of larger amounts
to customs, which allows you to export the same amount.
