You should visit both Italy and Taiwan too see how different they are. Your answer is strange.
Its like saying Paris and Taipei are alike with the Arc de triomphe and Taipei’s North gate old arc gate or Hsinchu’s version. The only thing reminds me of Italy here is seeing a Vespas, nothing else.
Spain, Italy, and Taiwan are all countries I want to visit but not now.
There is overlap in some way between any two countries in the world.
Italy is similar to industrial structure to Taiwan. Its firm size, like Taiwan, is relatively small, and machine tools are a sizeable proportion of the economy.
To answer your question there are on sidewalks too in Italy, though Taiwanese are not as fashionable as Italians. (and renting a scooter in Italy is more expensive from my experience but maybe locals pay less)
