I just got an S5 in November.  what do i need to do to be able to use it in europe?

Get a SIM card from the carrier of choice in the country you are visiting and add the APN for the carrier settings.

I am really sorry to hear that.  I thought it was just a matter of changing some settings.

Sure you can get a global plan from Verizon Wireless, but it might be cheaper to use the local carrier.

Can I just go to italy, then pull out my phone and use it?

videograndpa,

Great question! If the device roaming settings are enable you may be able to yes. However, you would want to be aware of the rates prior to usage as well as determine if you have the correct features to allow usage while there. The link provided above will show you exactly what you need for your trip with your device. Check it out and when ready to add features give us a call at 800-922-0204 or by dialing *611.
