Interesting Gaia. I too had clients who bought a new car with a carta d'identita 4 years ago. Now it doesnt seem possible. Perhaps being NonEU and going through the PdS channels helps, but an EU citizen cannot be given a C/I only for domicile. Ive tried and failed....
Badger its not rose tinted glasses, its the law. If you do not allow some cretin cut in right in front of you when they have overtaken and there is an accident, it is you who will be held responsible in law. Just saying....
Luckily, having a very large powerful vehicle, then I just close up to the one in front, Really? - you should read your codice stradale.... if theres an accident, its your fault! and you can be prosecuted for dangerous driving. So I reckon that makes you a bad driver..... ooops!
The only way out of it, is to ask the comune to exproproiate it, or give it to them. Even then, its not a given that they will want it. The Church usually takes everything on offer, but they will make you pay for the donation. You could see if an associazione or an onlus were interested in taking it on - in a comodato d'uso contract and they pay the maintenance and so on. ...
Its not public information - so unless you have a very leading edge comune with a computer system and personal passcodes, its a matter of taking a packed lunch and a good book and going and sitting in the various comunal offices.
I disagree. Italians are good drivers, they have superb reaction times, and know what other drivers will do. Insurance is high because of the amount of false claims and theft, not the amont of accidents - and the level of accidents doesnt seem much higher than other countries. But they are selfish and do exactly what they want to do. I notice that in towns they drive slowly, mainly because pedestrians are equally selfish and dont bother to look where they are going, and decide to push a pram out from behind a large lorry while talking on the phone. The speed of traffic in UK cities is scary in comparison!
Not hard at all - if you are not from the EU you will need the Intl Drivers Permit and your licence. You willn eed a credit card. Driving in Italy is a different ballgame.
I tried yet again 2 months ago to buy a car for a client who is domicilato but not resident. The motorizzazzione, and PRA and RAC all told me the same thing. You cannot buy a car either new or second hand if you are not resident in Italy. However, South Tyrol like Aosta is a region with special statute and they may have exemption

Yes. But you will be required to 'import' it into Italy after 6 months, and pay to have it provided with italian plates etc.

You can apply that to pedestrianas, drivers, cyclists, etc -
