3rd party top-up sites are quite expensive for Italian providers. You will be charged 9-15% for this service. Vodafone IT can be topped up with most credit cards from abroad and Wind, Tre and TIM can be topped up with an Italian PayPal account. This can be made up very easily when you have an Italian Sim card (thus an Italian IP address) and speak a few words.

Italy is a strict registration country. You only get a SIM in the country by showing your passport and codice fiscali (see article). There is no legal online market for Italian Sim cards.

All Italian SIm cards at least of the network providers are valid for 12 months after activation, last top-up or last payable debit.
