The so-called "patentino" (small driving licence) was an Italian licence given to youngsters with the minimum age of 14 years. This licence permits Italian teenagers to drive in Italy scooters and "micro-cars" (small cars with maximum motor power of 4 kW and maximum speed of 45 km/h). At the minimum age of 16 years, Italians can take the licence for the 125cc which is recognized at European level.

In the 2013 the "patentino" was replaced with a new category for the driver's licence.
