Banks in Italy — can I top up a card with cash before leaving?

Can you tell me if it’s actually possible to transfer cash onto a card before leaving? People say you can’t take banknotes out of the country, so I’m wondering what’s the best thing to do.

P2P transfers to a card aren’t considered exporting cash, so you can buy euros or dollars by transfer without limits. We did that before we moved.

Thanks — what was the daily P2P limit, did you hit it?
