For Italy, 3 things you must always do before going somewhere

1) Phone the destination and check they are open and have avgas
2) Phone the destination and check they are open and have avgas
3) Phone the destination and check they are open and have avgas



In Italian aviation, nothing happens as expected.

p.s. make sure they not only have avgas but will also sell it to you. Often it is published as 'available' but really it is for private use of the based aeroclub only. A bribe may take care of it, but only if there is somebody around to receive the bribe.
