The phone has CDMA hardware, the ROM is written for GSM hardware. What happens if you put gasoline into a Diesel engine? Boom! Same thing with the phone - it stops working (probably to the point that you can't fix it).

The SIM icon is likely because you don't have a Verizon SIM in the device (there should be a notification stating this). You're only getting 3G because the phone likely doesn't have the hardware to support 4G service in Italy, changing the ROM would not fix that.

My suggestion - if you're there long-term, get a device designed for Europe, or a carrier-agnostic device such as one of the Nexus devices.
