You might know it as the siesta. In Italy, it is called riposo. This traditional early afternoon shutdown varies from business to business, but usually lasts about 90 minutes to two hours. It may begin anywhere from noon and 1:30pm and run until anywhere from 2:30 to 4pm.
Public transportation works very well in Italy. We've been four times for a total of about 12 weeks. We rented a car only twice during that time, for a total of about four days. You really need a car only if you want to drive to the small towns that aren't served well by public transit.
