When choosing your insurance package at the rental desk.
'Assicurazione completa' (full insurance) includes third-party liability. 'Copertura kasko' (collision damage waiver — CDW) covers damage to the rental vehicle itself. 'Kasko' is the Italian term borrowed from German. Without CDW, you are liable for damage up to the vehicle's excess (franchigia).

Some premium cards do — check before paying for extra insurance
Italian traffic is notoriously busy and parking damage is common in city centres. The full kasko insurance (copertura completa) at zero franchise is strongly recommended for urban rentals. Some premium credit cards (Amex Platinum, certain Visa cards) include CDW automatically — always verify the terms before declining rental insurance.
