But while in Europe, to call another phone in Europe, it's +XX-XXX-XX-XX-XXX. The plus can be replaced by two zeros.
If the number you're calling is in the same country, it can be anywhere from 6 to 10 digits.
I suppose it's just because growing up in Canada changes the way I look at geographic areas.
The way phoning is in Europe is like if you had to dial an extra 3 or 4 digits to call from Washington to Idaho, or Alberta to BC, or Alberta to Washington.

Yeah... yes.
International access in Europe is 00. The country code for Canada and the US is 1. You said yourself you dial + or two 0's then the country code. So to dial Canada or the US from Europe, you dial 001.
International access in NA is either + or 011.
So since you lived in Italy, I'll use that as an example:
Italy to Canada:
001-XXX-XXX-XXXX or +1-XXX-XXX-XXXX. International access, 1 digit country code, 10 digit number.
Canada to Italy:
011-39-XXX-XX-XX-XXX or +39-XXX-XX-XX-XXX. International access, 2 digit country code, 10 digit number.
