Your visa will be valid for Italy too if you have a French Schengen type C visa which states "ETATS SCHENGEN" in the valid for column and "MULT" in the number of entries column. If you should hold a national French visa (type D) it would depend on your passport whether you will need a visa for Italy. Since you just told your continent and not your country you may look it up on the website of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

(€30.00 for a roundtrip). Easyjet is offering flights from Lyon to Rome to start at €23.49 for the 1 hour 35 minutes flight.
