As far as I have been able to understand from Italian people I met online it shouldn't be that different from the Dutch stuff, so I will inform you about that. We use 220/230 V for power and normally have very different cables than those that are common in the US. The pins on the plug are round, like a small cylinder. Almost all phone connectors use standard RJ11's for connecting, however the connector after that differs from country to country.
