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  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 ""  [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 .
 "And can I get rid of that flaming schoolboy picture....???!!!" Go to 'my account' - hit 'edit' scroll down to 'upload picture' and 'browse' to find the piccie you want When you've found the picture, don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit 'Save' .
