No, not from rome to milan. Rome to milan would be 10 digits. But, if you call from milan to geneva, which is closer than rome, you dial 13 digits.
After our friendly neighbourhood math guy calculated that with 10 digits, there are 7.5 billion numbers, I don't see the reason why europe has country codes. I suppose it could have been a territorial thing from the past that is too counterproductive to remove.
I'm just glad that all we'll have to ever dial is 10 digits within north america.
