I was in Italy about a year ago and was advised to get an international driver's permit prior to the trip. My wife and I rented a car in Milan and drove to Switzerland. At the rental office in Milan they asked to see the permit, but we were never stopped to check after that.
Better be safe than sorry - imagine you're involved in an accident or something (heaven forbid), it could get messy with the cops. As mentioned earlier, it doesn't cost much and takes less than 10 min. at your nearest AA office.
We ended up on some quiet and deserted backroad which took us over the Alps. We saw some of the most extraordinary sights imaginable - a truly unforgettable experience!
