How to rent a scooter in Rome?

125cc Scooter Hire Italy License Requirements for carrying a passenger

• I have a full UK drivers licence and have completed my CBT (compulsory Basic Training) safety course. I am legally allowed to ride my 125cc Vespa scooter in the UK with L plates affixed, but am not allowed to carry a passenger. Am I allowed to rent a 125cc scooter in ITALY, and carry a passenger? So, can I rent a 125cc scooter in Italy (likely Rome) with a valid UK car drivers licence (not a motorcycle licence)and carry a passenger?
