Several people answered me and said that eating GF in Italy is easier than eating GF here in the United States.  They recommended taking an Italian Restaurant card.  Also they recommended learning to pronounce Sono Celiaco pronounced Chay-lee-ah-oo, and sensa glutine to use when ordering.  
Use online/mobile apps to find places and research what will be close to where you are geographically.  One person recommend Find Me Gluten Free app.  Trip Advisor with the GF filter is helpful. Just make sure dates are recent, 2016-2017.  
Starbene Gold in Florence has a great GF Bakery if you are there.  
GF Food is found in "farmacias" pharmacies.  Most restaurants can substitute Risotto for pasta.  Most restaurants have GF pasta, just make sure they cook it in clean water, not pasta water.  GF items are sometimes marked on the menus.
Restaurant that was recommended is La Soffitta Renovatio https://www.facebook.com/lassoffittarenovatio/Venchi! is a chocolate and gelato shop with dairy free gelato.  "Il cono por tutti" gluten free cone.Celiachiamo.com  grocery near the Cipro metro stationHotel Best Western Spring House offers a GF breakfast, is a 4 minutes walk to Vatican Museums, 6 minutes to Cipro Metro Station.http://mamaeat.com  amazing hazelnut cake with chocolate flecks.http//www.ristorante-3scalini.com in the Piazza Navona Great customer service.  Mama Frite is a restaurant near the Vatican 
Italian Celiac Association http://www.celiachia.it/DIETa.aspx?SS=95&M=1280 
Most Gelato places have GF cones and will label which flavors are GF.  
Blogger Amy Fothergill <[log in to unmask]> is in Italy right now.  Erin Smith at Gluten-Free Globetrotter sent me Amy's information.  Karin Broussard at GlutenFreeTravelsite.com has a book with GF restaurants listed.  
There is a grocery in the train station in Rome that has GF items.  
Also check the archives here. 
Thanks to all who wrote.  I really appreciate all the information.
