Maybe you need to charge the phone first?

You need to change the title of the thread, there is no fraud here. As said, because the phone has been switched off it will need charging. If that fails to turn the phone on, try holding the home button and the power button down for 20 seconds until you see the apple logo, then just release. The phone should reset. There is no reason not to use the phone in Italy as you would in the UK as long as you don't go over your allowances.
