Book major museums (Vatican, Uffizi, Last Supper) days ahead on their apps — data at the right moment beats queueing two hours.
The Amalfi Coast road and Cinque Terre trails have good signal at towns and viewpoint gaps between — sufficient for navigation, occasionally thin for uploads.
Italy's regional trains check e-tickets via QR — keep them downloaded; intercity Frecciarossa Wi-Fi exists but mobile data along the line is faster.
