I have seen people use their smart phones.

That's probably a very convenient option, but might be the most
expensive, too - unless you're absolutely sure that either your phone
has the maps always on hand (i.e. doesn't need to download them in
Italy) or your mobile plan includes a large, at best unlimited amount of
free Internet traffic in Italy. People have been charged two, three
months' wages for Internet access abroad.

I'd go with a paper map: Easy to operate, lightweight to carry, no
hidden charges, doesn't run out of electricity when needed most and
doesn't annoy with useless chitchat from home. But that wasn't the
question
