Technically the Italian police can get you if you don’t have a translated version of your license (International Drivers License), regardless of EU membership or not. Although I have never heard of a situation where this was enforced, I assume it’s ultimately up to the police officer or official that you are evolved with. I’m an American living in Germany and I’ve taken many trips to Italy, I wouldn’t really worry about it……unless you are giving the police a hard time or he/she really wants to get you I doubt they would enforce it. But if you have time and resources to obtain the international license it wouldn’t hurt.
