Drive from Switzerland to Milan, Italy. What should I pay attention to? Do I need to buy expressway tickets ?

At the toll station of Italian highway, there are three obvious signs of toll forms. I look for the channel with the cash payment icon (coin), and hand the card I got when entering the highway to the staff. Then the screen will display the amount (I ran 8.8 kilometers this time and need to pay 0.7 euros; once I ran 78 kilometers and needed to pay 11.3 euros). It's quite convenient.
In Switzerland, you need to buy a high-speed pass and stick it on the windshield of your car. It costs about 30 euros and is valid for one year. You can take it down and save it when you return the car if you haven't used it up. You can buy it at gas stations. If you don't buy one and get caught by the police, you will be fined.
