EU nationals can take advantage of Italy's health services under the same terms as the residents of the country - to obtain this benefit you'll need to present a form E111, which you can get over the counter at main post offices. However, the E111 won't cover the full cost of major treatment, and the high charges for medical treatment make travel insurance essential if you're a non-EU citizen - and the risks of theft or other unforeseen setbacks make it highly advisable even if you are. For medical treatment and drugs, keep all the receipts and claim the money back later. If you have anything stolen (including money), register the loss immediately with the police, as without their report you won't be able to claim; the department you should go to is once again the
