I don't know BUT:
   1. ask the organization sponsoring/promoting the year abroad. 
Ideally they
      have already addressed the problem. If not, the question 
should cause them
      to investigate possible solutions.
   2. since a minor is involved, ask the Italian Consulate {for 
their expertise
      in locality} and whatever section of U.S. State Dept. that 
handles "well
      being" of citizens abroad.
   3. ask T-mobile as they are the family's carrier of choice. 
Might they have
      a plan addressing the (I presume) not unusual situation.
