Frascati, the hilltop wine town in the Castelli Romani just outside Rome, runs a ZTL over its historic centre. Up for a day of white wine and villas? Park outside the zone — cameras fine unregistered cars, and ‘I was only visiting the enoteca’ won’t get you off.
The fine for entering without a permit is €83–332 (a 30% discount applies if you pay within 5 days). If you’re staying in the centre, your hotel can usually register your plate — ask before you drive in, because the cameras don’t wait.
