We just did the same trip (4 pax - 3 wks - Italy) - although we all required lots of data. We used Youtube travel guides extensively when out and about, as well a Google Maps for navigating around in our car. We also found that hotel/apartment Wifi was often hit and miss.

You will require identification (your passport) to purchase SIM/plans and theoretically you should be able to purchase almost any 28 day plan. I say theoretically as we were hoping to purchase Poste Mobile plans but the post office at Rome airport made a big deal about requiring a Codice Fiscale (Italian equivalent of a tax file number) to get a SIM card, I think they just didn't want to do the paperwork.

We ended up going to the TIM store and getting [|28 day SIM/plans for Foreigners]l/ approx 25 Euro each - adults hadunlimited calls +10Gb data each and the kids got 30gb data each - we kept in touch via Whats App.

If you get tourist/traveller type SIM/plans you normally get a lot less data at a more expensive price.

Don't forget to make sure your phones are unlocked.
