independent-check fix pass. Currency & Banking removes the local bank detail and uses the shared euro and exchange rate wording. Tap Water uses the shared national safety advice. SIM Card uses the country prep’s dated prices and registration wording, removes the extra GIGA 150 roaming allowance and city-cost commentary, and cites the prep’s mobile offers page. Cashless Friendly uses the prep’s card and tipping advice and removes the unsupported card-slip restriction. Attractive Tax System for Digital Nomads uses the prep’s 2026 income reference and optional 50% exemption, removes the older consular amount, Siena-specific pension discussion and child exception, and directs readers to confirm consular requirements. Main Train/Transit Hub, Accommodation and Best Coworking Space retain their values with explicit address, price and opening-hours limitations under Not verified. Research model and verification date updated for this fix pass (https://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Italy, https://www.iliad.it/offerte-iliad-mobile.html, https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/italy/individual/income-determination).
