Visa and Mastercard, equally accepted; with ANY other(American Express, Diners, Discovery, ...) you may get some trouble.

I use Visa or MasterCard (which is also called EuroCard in Europe) in Italy with no problems whatsoever.

Hi. I'm Italian and I live here in Milan. I'm a guest here:-). I try to get better my English.

Anyway, came here with a Visa and you'll not have problem.

Ciao.

Everyone said it right, the ones we most use are VISA and MASTERCARD.
Do not take with you an American Express, it's not worth it.

Anyhow, in Italy is preferable to use debit cards (ATMs are called Bancomats) because you don't have any charges (or almost) when credit cards do.
If someone pickpockets you, then, they cannot use your debit card (bancomat) but they can with credit cards (... actually in some big shops there's the tendency to check the name of the possessor with a ID, but this doesn't always apply). Anyway make sure with your bank everything is accepted into the Visa Network.
As I live in Venice, I can tell you some shops could not accept credit cards, so it is better to have some money with you.
At last if you choose credit cards, take a debit one with you, just in case something happens (one of my friends was robbed when we were in NZ and it was no pleasant to be broke and have to call all banks to block cards and stuff).

I found some good tips (in English) at this link, check it out:

Hope this helps... Ciao!
