Country codes never begin with zero. In this example, '00' is a commonly used international access prefix and the actual country code is +39, which is Italy.
Additionally, you need to know that Italy is an exception to the usual rule that you drop the leading '0' of the domestic area code when calling internationally. For example, the area code for Rome is 06, but internationally it is +39 06, not +39 6.
To call Rome from the US, dial 011 - 39 - 06 - (local number in Rome).
(The plus sign means "insert your international access prefix here." From a GSM mobile phone, you can enter the number in full international format, starting with the plus sign. The most common prefix is 00, but North America (USA, Canada, etc.) uses 011, Japan uses 010, Australia uses 0011, and many other countries use different prefixes.)
