Get one that takes double-AAs. Take 5+ megapixels (if you can). If you don't want to be constantly adjusting, get a fixed length camer, not a Digital SLR (which is more pricy.)
Get one with double-AAs because you'll find them all over the world, and you don't have to have a cord. Get a 2 gig or more card for the camera because you want more room not less when you're in Italy. A camera's useless if your card takes 5 shots.
The one I'm using now has 2 memory cards built in it, a flash and a zoom lens. It's still a fixed length camera.
Make it smallish to carry around. Put in hand-carry luggage. Remember in Europe you have different power -- you may borrow my plug converter if we see each other before the trip.
