Internet access in Italy
By law all public-access internet points must keep records of web sites viewed by customers, and even the customer's ID: expect to be refused access if you don't provide identification. Hotels providing Internet access are not required to record IDs if the connection is provided in the guest's room, although if the connection is offered in the main public hall then IDs are required.
Publicly available wireless access is forbidden unless the provider has a special government license. This has caused only major phone companies to be able to afford that, so wireless access is generally expensive.
You should expect that all Internet usage is monitored by the state. Websites which are connected to gambling in other countries and other websites considered inappropriate by the government (Pirate Bay, for example) are blocked.
