Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Italy is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.
