Ive just read some horror stories on the internet, is it really strict?

I have my passport, and my "fiscal code" that I obtained from that website, I will be arriving at Fiumicino airport, is there a phone store in the terminal?

from what ive read its 10 euro for the SIM and then you have to buy an additional card for minutes correct? is it a really time consuming process?

Thanks again guys

Don't worry, it's something very easy, expecially if the dealer speaks some English!
With the 10€ simcard there will be 5€ of preloaded credit. Of course if you want more you can buy a refill card, no problem, it's something very fast and straightforward. Credit is usually valid for 11/12 months after the recharge.
Consider that usually with TIM it takes a bit more to have it activated, while Wind usually works after 1/2 hours, Vodafone maybe even faster...
