Do Italian police check ID and certification documents when driving in Italy ?

Whether it is processed at an embassy or consulate, it belongs to one type: foreign affairs authentication.
I was stopped at a routine check in Cefalu, Sicily, and let go after providing a translation and my driver's license.
Whether to go to the embassy in Beijing or several consulates to handle, they are all the same: foreign-related certification.
Whether it is the Italian Embassy in China or one of the other consulates, it is the same thing: authentication of foreign affairs.
As long as nothing goes wrong, there won't be any investigations.
We drove for several days and did not encounter any police checks, but it is more reassuring to have our own credentials.
This kind of thing is like insurance. It gives peace of mind to buy, but one really doesn't hope to use it.
