Is it necessary to attend driving school to obtain a license?

To obtain an Italian license, you must attend driving school, pass theory and practice exams. Even if you have a license from another country, you will still need to take exams, as there is no conversion agreement with some countries, including Russia.

Some participants report that it is possible to register for the exam without attending driving school, but this requires a medical certificate and may be more challenging in terms of passing. It is still recommended to undergo at least minimal training.

The cost of attending driving school varies but can range from 800 to 1700 euros, including all fees. Some participants note that training in other countries can be significantly cheaper, which is worth considering.

It is important to remember that to successfully pass the exams, you need to have a good command of the Italian language, as the questions can be complex and tricky. It is advisable to prepare in advance for the theoretical part using online resources and quizzes.
