Hey all, traveling to Italy soon for 10 days, visiting Rome, Florence, and wine country.
Has anyone rented a car there before?
Worth it or not?
Should I only rent for the countryside parts and then use transports for big cities, or ok to use car everywhere?
Any advice welcome!

For big cities, public transport, Rome is super special to drive through. Doable, but not for the meek. If going around Tuscany, you'll need a tour or a car and know where you want to go. Not hard to get around but vast. Avoid ZTL zones and you'll be fine

Definitely a car is needed as the beauty of Italy lies essentially in small historical villages ( the famous 'borghi') , a part from the great art cities. Also, without a car you would miss some fantastic landscapes (Prosecco valley, Norcia valley, not to mention the islands of Sardinia or Sicily - how would you get to the Temple Valley or to the Etna vulcan without a car?) and you would be confined to a very limited - and inauthentic - tourist circuit.
