You should not really rely on Italian coverage in Piran. Last year in June, during my short visit in this beautiful town, I was not able to log in to any Italian network, although the signal seemed to be quite strong. The reason for this might be too large distance (the limit for GSM is about 35km) or too much interference from Slovenian, Croatian and other Italian GSM base stations. There might be some spots well screened from other interfering signals where you could log in to Italian networks, however definetly this does not apply to the whole town.
It was slightly better with Croatian networks. As far as I remember as I was able to log in to at least one of them (either Vip or T-Mobile, I'm not sure now), however I also don't expect it to work very well everywhere. It was just fine next to the coast, nearby the charming old white church.
