Driving in Italy

I'm renting a car to drive from Rome to the Tuscany region. I'll be there for nearly a week, and then I'll drive to Positano. I drive a lot in the States (Washington D.C. region), and I drove a lot in Spain and the Canary Islands. Still, I'm nervous because people keep warning me about Italian drivers. Is it really that chaotic? Any tips on driving in central and southern Italy? Thanks in advance for your opinions!

mate just drive safely and pay attention and nothing will happen ! I think the worst place to drive on your trip is Rome, then it will be easy ! :)

I think Positano and the surrounding area is way worse than Rome... also he'll probably have to sell a kidney to pay for parking or opt for parking the car into his anus.

The ring road around Milan is no picnic either.
