Has anyone received fines for violating traffic rules in Italy?
We rested in Italy and rented a car, traffic violations are recorded by cameras, addresses and all data are taken at the car rental agency, so there is a possibility that the receipt will come to Russia. Has anyone been in a similar situation, what amounts are we talking about and what is the risk of non-payment?

Very unlikely.
Minor violations recorded by cameras - do not worry - most likely nothing will happen. Hire something can write or send an invoice, but it's not from the court or the police. It doesn’t threaten anything until it gets to court, insurance and, a little worse, to the police. But such situations are very few. Kill it.
If parking with a receipt, then most likely the rental will ask you to pay, perhaps wait and sue. Look at the situation-send-pay, do not send-hammer.
If you were fined by a police officer with a receipt for minor violations, then you may not be forgotten. Again, they may or may not.
If there was a fine for drinking or there was an accident, the insurance company was involved, there was a court and you are guilty, then everything will come to you by mail. The probability is high. What threatens. Only possible(!) problems in the same country during the next document check.
It does not affect the visa. Although many people are sure that there is a common base of violations and everyone will be rewarded, this is not so. Such a base is under development, but for now everything is fragmented.
And what did you do then?

Yes, I forgot. If the rental is local, then it can do little on its own to a foreigner, except to send an invoice. Well, to the extreme, to file a lawsuit, to your local court)
And if the rental is venerable - Sixt, Hertz, with a Russian representative office, then, it seems to me, sanctions are possible. But this is my guess(!)
If the contract was concluded in Russia, for example, you still paid for the car in advance and the contract was concluded here, then 100% of all fines will come to you from the rental and they will not leave you behind ;-)

Yes, she didn’t do anything special, we drove, got lost, saw a police car, drove up to her to ask for directions, but it turned out that she was standing on a pedestrian zone. The policeman said that having passed here, we earned a fine (camera recorded). I tried to find out on the spot how the fine payment scheme works, he said that receipts are issued from a month to three, and advised me to forget about it too, since the car is rented and we are leaving soon. But I was a little alarmed that at the box office they asked for an address in Russia in case of payment of fines, and the amounts they have are not small for violations ... Thanks for the competent answer)

Contentissima, I think your policeman was bored and just joking. Since if you violated something, then it would be he who would fine you)))
Most of these "violations" are punishable by warnings and that's it. Penalties are different ;-)
If there is a police officer, it is ordered to score on imaginary cameras)))))
And the rental should always have your bank details, addresses.

My acquaintances in the spring in Florence received two fines for entering the ZTL zone twice. Each fine is 110 euros. Fines came to Moscow. They did not immediately pay them, then they came again with a notification that if the amount is not paid, then in the next letter it will be doubled. My friends paid the fines by bank transfer.

Contentissima, pedestrian zone is not equal to ZTL.
With ZTL there is really a complete mess.
A pedestrian zone and a policeman who did not fine you is a warning.
But in any case, you are not threatened with non-payment of a real fine.
So far, nothing! Everywhere people do not pay fines for minor (!) violations and there are simply no sanctions. Writing letters is not a sanction)))

ZTL - Zona a traffico limitato, a zone with limited traffic (there is a photo of the signs on the link), where only cars from the “white list” are allowed to enter - residents of the area or cars serving businesses within the area. Driving under these signs is categorically contraindicated, because cameras are almost always installed after them, your car number will be photographed and if it is not on the “white list”, get it, sign it, they will write out a fine. If you check into a hotel located inside the ZTL, your car number will need to be whitelisted for the duration of your stay by hotel staff
And here is an interesting article:

frightening article, since at least I was smart enough to leave the car at the entrance to the city in Florence). In general, the conclusion is that the transport of tourists is a bus and a train, in order to avoid trouble, the car is cheaper only at first glance))

And it seems to me that the peculiarities of the traffic rules of another country always look like this - unusual. If you prepare ahead of time, it's not a big deal.
You also need to filter the article, you understand ;-)
In addition, in order to correctly pay for transport, read timetables and move in the transport networks of cities, some skill is also needed. Often, not really understanding how and what to pay, you can be fined in public transport.
