From Lets Go "Italy 2000" - good city maps - Emergency Aid 113 - Carabinieri 112 - Fire 115 - Tow Trucks / Automobile Repair 116

-----------------------------------------------

118 is possibly the new telephone number for Ambulances (starting in ?1990)

From www.geocities.com/Athens/Forum/2680/General.htm

Public Emergency Assistance and Immediate Action Service:� Telephone "113" and "112":

The Public Emergency Assistance afforded by the State Police [,] and the Immediate Action Service performed by the Carabinieri can be reached by telephoning 113 and 112, respectively, wherever you may be in Italy.� These numbers and their services operate on a 24-hour basis.

In particular, The Public Emergency Assistance is for persons in danger or faced with natural calamities.� Number 113 in these principal localities will answer in the main foreign languages, thanks to the interpreters who work for the Foreigner's Bureaus at police headquarters.

The above numbers can be used for many emergencies, but use them only in cases of real need such as medical and ambulances or help needed after an accident.� If necessary, you can also call 116 [auto club per below] to solicit immediate help.

[Note - it looks like 112 goes to Carabinieri - and 113 goes to State Police or State Civil Defense. - PS]
