Is My Driver's License Valid?

You will have to require an international driver's license if you intend to rent a car and drive in Italy.

When visiting Italy, EU citizens can drive using their licenses. Non-EU citizens instead must obtain a temporary international driving permit. According to Italian legislation, if you are pulled over by the police, you must present both your national driving license and a translated one. Additionally, car rental agencies could request to check the license.

You must be older than 18 and possess a current driver's license from your home state in order to be eligible for an international driving license. You can submit an application for your international license on the AAA or AATA websites if you meet these requirements. The worldwide license is only going to be valid for a year.
