Wifi and Co-working spaces

Just work in your hotel room. Why do you need anything more?

Yeah, your hotel room or a tourist office or a café or just about any public space these days.

I recently did something like this and it worked quite well -- Most all hotels and B&B's have decent wifi these days -- You don't always get a desk/table and chair though!
A backup would be to rent one of those wifi hotspot gadgets, that works off vodafone or TIM, to enable wifi over the cell network, or, get an Italian data sim chip for your tablet, and use that as a wifi hotspot when there is no local wifi.
Another thing that worked quite well for me was to sign up with "GoTo MyPC" -- This enabled me to access everything on my office desktop at home, from anywhere, on my laptop and also print documents to my office printer back home
Technology keeps making this easier and easier to do

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. It's good to know that wi-fi is pretty reliable. I don't know that a tourist office or a cafe will let me sit for 8 hours to do work though.

It's one thing to use wi-fi for personal or trip planning needs, it's another to use it for professional purposes where I use a lot of bandwidth.
