Sabe yourself a big headache and find out which models of towbar are "approved" in Italy for your vehicle. We bought a car in the UK, had a towbar fitted and because the model (despite being approved by the manufacturer and having EC type approval) does not appear on the Italian list we either have to pay the fee to have this type of towbar put on the list (thousands of euros) or get another one fitted which costs a lot of money here - over €500! It was not about having to have any type of specific Italian fittings, it was just not on their list. We have done nothing at the moment and when we go back to the UK we'll get the one that is on their list fitted. We're going for the soft option. I don't have the energy for a fight at the minute. But Badger, thans for this document. I will give it to the guy sorting this out for us and see what he says.

You'll need to ask at either

You'll need to ask at either the office of Motorizzazione (good luck!) or ask a driving school that registers foreign vehicles/converts driving licences. All towns have one but you'll need to find one with helpful staff.
