Won't work with a non-US SIM?

I've been banging my head against the wall all day with this one and am pretty close to throwing my 6P out the window of the place I'm staying right now :)

My 6P is normally on the Verizon network, but I'm traveling to Italy for a bit so I grabbed a local carrier's SIM (TIM, doubt it matters), and my 6P refuses to connect to their mobile network - as in, no signal ever, emergency calls only. I put the same SIM in my friend's iPhone here and it works fine. I also put it in an LG G4 here and it was at least able to pick up a signal.

Here's what I've tried so far, unsuccessfully of course:
* "Reset network settings"
* Selected TIM in the network provider screen. I get the extremely unhelpful "No Service: Selected Network (I TIM) is unavailable" and "try again later"
* Selected Automatic in the network provider screen.
* Switched between 2G/3G/4G for the above two steps.
* Changing network bands in *#*#4636#*#*
* After doing more research on the bands problem, resetting them via the advice I found here and more importantly, here - I changed it back to Automatic band selection. Tried Euro too for fun, and it didn't work either.
* Factory reset on the latest 6.0.1 build
* Flashed N preview, did a factory reset

I know for a fact that the 6P supports the correct bands via this Wikipedia page. I took a quick look at the logcat and didn't see anything interesting, if anyone thinks it would be useful I can post it here.

What gives? Is my device hosed? Anyone have other ideas on what to try? Thanks!
