Question

Answer 1

I would also recommend that you leave it in a bank that has branches around the world, like Citibank. Get an ATM card that you can use overseas and debit the money as you need it.

Answer 2

Put it into a bank account in a bank that does business internationally.  Leave it there until you get to Italy, then pull it out in Euro's.

Answer 3

I don't know what you call a large amount of money, but with the movement of money being watched by home land security I would have the source of the money well documented I am sure if you keep asking you will get a good answer I would go to a large bank and get advise that is what they do MONEY.

Answer 4

The change kiosks at the airports are genrally the cheapest.
