caption_attribution_description: English: &#160;Italy, Vehicle registration plates of Italy. The license plate used by the Fire Department.
context_page_description: Present Italian car number plates have black characters on a rectangular white background, with small blue side-fields. The current numbering scheme, in use from 1994, is unrelated to the geographical provenance of the car. By law, Italian plates can only be made by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato and issued by local departments of motor vehicles.
context_section_description: Before 1938 Firefighters vehicles used civilian plates
  Since 1938 have the prefix "VF" (Vigili del Fuoco) in red . They have the same style and dimension of Port Authority plates, but they don't have text in the bottom section. Firefighters of autonomous regions use special Firefighters plates issued locally. Their schemes were VF 0L0 AA (formerly VF L00 AA), where "AA" at the end can be TN or BZ. Trailers have small red "R" between prefix and numbers.
