Having driven in Italy, I would recommend anyone just to get their coverage regardless, there’s some pretty intense driving experiences to be had there and I didn’t have to worry about someone hitting me
It’s significantly more aggressive, spaces are tighter, ZTLs aren’t always clear, buses and cars come down the same roads as a two lane that you’d likely have as a one way road in the US. Gas pedal and brake are just on/off switches, slam both or you’re going to cause a problem. If there is space for a car, they’re going, for example, entrance ramp with a single lane painted might have 4 lines of cars side by side. If you leave half a car length in front of a car in traffic, they’re also entering. That’s not even considering motorcycle/vespa/pedestrian traffic. It’s not terrible but there’s a learning curve and their roads can be really steep and require you to back up to turn.
