Under the 2000 Italian helmet law, penalties for riding without a helmet ranged from a fine of 63,000 lire up to a 30-day administrative impoundment of the vehicle.

Notes on verification

Confirmed by original epidemiological source and multiple independent legal-text corroborations, including the official Gazzetta Ufficiale text and parliamentary dossier. Minor numeric discrepancies (63,000 vs 63,510 lire) are due to rounding, not factual dispute.
