Why not Arrival? It's 2x points on everything and you can redeem the sign up bonus ($400) back on your travel purchases --- plus you also get 10% back on redemption amounts.
Or CSP -- there is also a sign up bonus for this one as well -- both have no foreign transaction fees.
Freedom and Simplicity have foreign transaction fees right? Just curious if you've factored in those fees?
Either way, I'm jealous that you're going to Italy! I hope you have a blast!

CSP- Chase Sapphire Preferred: 40k signup bonus if you spend $3k in 3months/ No FTF
Arrival- Barclays: Also 40k signup bonus miles if you spend $3k in 3months/ NO FTF
Two of the most popular cards out there.
Chase Shappire Preferred Card (CSP)

Barclay's Arrival
http://www.barclaycardarrival.com/premium-travel/?campaignId=1729&od=bcarrival&cellNumber=24
Both great travel cards, and if your credit profile is nice, these are two excellent cards to add to the portfolio. Especially if you are traveling.
I'm a bit confused. The OP's signature includes "CSP 25k" and Barclay Arrival 35k. If "CSP" is the Chase Sapphire Preferred, I'd give serious consideration to putting the flights on that card rather than the Delta. Delta points have very little value at this point. You would get 2 points/dollar spent with CSP, almost 36k UR points just from the tickets. Worth way more than 36k Delta SkyMiles. Personally, I'd put all travel related expenses on the CSP and then anything non-categorized on either the Venture or Arrival (your choice, 2 cents/point either way).
If the CSP in the OP's signature line is some other card, then everything on the venture or arrival.

OP was just approved for the CSP & Arrival this morning, so I'm sure she'll choose the best card for airfare/ expenses.
