What do you mean by accessibility? That they be able to reach you at any time?
If you buy a SIM there (say Italy as recommended) and the outbound rate is .5 Euro (not euro cents - 1 Euro is ~ $1.30 so .5 Euros is about 65 US cents), then I recommend that your family calls YOU. You will have free inbound in Italy and they will have to pay intl LD charges to an Italian cell. My guess is with a decent US calling card that will be around $0.30 per minute, perhaps less. It's cheaper to a landline so if you happen to be in the hotel room, they could call you back on a landline #.
TRUE, you will be paying INBOUND fees with the IT SIM card in FR. Top up on your last day in IT.
