Have a read of:

I imagine WIND SIMs can be bought on ebay, though I can't find any right
now. There should be no problem at all finding one in Italy.

Theoretically you need a Codice Fiscale (tax number) to buy a prepaid SIM in
Italy, but these are easily obtainable on the web - see:

(also gives all the voice/text rates)
