Ouch. That sucks, man. On topic, I gave up on glass pieces after I broke like, my third glass piece (a 70$ bubbler) and I just use my plastic bong now. Works great, doesn't break, etc. As for fixing it, I used super glue on one of my old glass pieces and it held together for a few weeks. Why not just make a cheap bong when you get to Italy? Plastic water bottle + pen + water = bong. Good luck.
