A UK mobile will ring 112 OK - [but I'm not sure whether you can ring the other numbers Gala quotes without the 0039 prefix - someone will know.] Note - to ring 112, 999 and 911 you do not need to unlock a mobile phone - the system is over-ridden for these emergency numbers. .
As you've already paid for the flat - can you sub-let it? .
You can pay in any agreed currency - subject to any charges/taxes etc being calculated, and paid, in Euros But I could be wrong............. .
"I would like to leave the city early in the morning, around 0730 to 0800." Right in the rush hour then! Possibly not a good idea for the first time 'Rome Driver'
You can pay the ICI on line at http://equitaliasestri.pagonet.it/pagonet/bollettino_versamento.asp there isn’t an English version, but if your local ICI rate is unchanged from last year, [apparently mine is], you can just copy what you wrote last year and pay with the credit card/ You can find out your ICI rate by visiting your Commune's website and looking for "Tariffe / Aliquote ICI" [at least - you can on mine - and so I've showed it as a link so you can see the sort of info I get when I go into my local site] .
I've often wondered - what happens if you don't renew it and then turn up at the UK border? [after all - you are still a UK citizen - aren't you?] .
Make a note of their international contact number - it should be on the back of the card [not the '08....' number which your mobile usually can't ring from abroad]. Programme it into your mobile If it gets 'frozen - give them a ring straight away, and they should release it almost immediately. Don't wait for them to ring you - often they call your UK number, rather than the mobile, and leave you a message to call them [no use if you're abroad!] .
Also - if you are going to use your credit and/or debit card abroad, tell the card company before you set off - it may [only may] prevent their anti-fraud computer programme from freezing your card .
