From what I have read Italy uses a mixture of Type C, Type F, and Type L. Ouch!
And when I went to Italy I also stopped in a store to buy an adapter when my Europe adapter didn't work.

So it's a mix of type F and Type L. Modern homes typically use combo sockets that accept both, or two sockets (one of each type) side by side in at least some of the fixtures. Italy uses a very cool modular system for electrical fixtures[1] which makes it easy to combine multiple plugs, or plugs and switches as well.
For those appliances that need to move a lot around the home (e.g., vacuum cleaners) to places where there could be no type F socket installed, you keep an F->L adaptor on the plug and basically never use it elsewhere.

- Bipasso + Schuko: can fit Type L (both 10A and 16A), Type C and Type F (and even type E, but without earthing) [1, right].
