According to Saturday's Daily Telegraph's Motoring Section Italy's cars :-
"You might not be entirely surprised to learn that Italians used to drive on
the right in town and on the left in the country, a potentially comic
situation that was only regularised in 1927."
I was surprised actually! They accompanied the paragraph with a photo of
Benito Mussolini, looking rather spiffy, standing up in a spectacular Right
Hand Drive Alfa-Romeo. He's surrounded by Blackshirts and is obviously
taking a parade or similar. All rather clownish in appearance, but the Alfa
is indeed RHD.
