You can buy laptop datacards as well that use mobile technology but in the UK normally have to sign up for a year and there are caps on the data you can transfer, their must be similar in italy.

i was just looking at this site, but i found a ton of hotspots in florence.

one thing though, with this btopenzone, can you access these hotspots 24 hrs/day? that is important.

I went via the italien partner site it links too and only found the one, then I cant read italien so that doesnt help.

As long as the hotspot owner has it turned on (I dont see any reason why a hotel etc would turn it off) then yes 24 hrs a day, I have used openzone at UK airports and it does work well.
