The lira was the previous unit of Italian money. But Italy discarded their longtime monetary unit, in favor of the 'euro', with the Italian Republic's membership in the European Union. Switching to the 'euro' isn't mandatory. But Italy decided to do so.
The Euro is the currency in use in Italy (100 cents to the Euro). Prior to 2002, the Lira (plural "Lire") was used (100 centisimi to the Lira).
