You mean the ultimate stage of vehicular evolution, the humble golf cart? I lived in Italy for a couple of years and it appears to be the case there. The most popular SUV-ish car back then, as explained to me by my Italian friend, was the Qashqai. Anything larger is just awkward. Also for cars they often shop local, because Italian brands know their customers well and offer vehicles which out of context are just plain weird, like the 4x4 Fiat Panda. There's still a lot of congestion, but smaller cars manage it better because you can squeeze three of them in two lanes on intersections if need be. Also with few SUVs on the road you see many more other modes like scooters and even Tuk-Tuks.
