Default 3 tickets for the same thing when in Italy, can anything be done?

Hello,

I was in Italy last summer for vacation. When I was in Florence, I rented a car so we could drive out to the Tuscany region. I remember I picked the car up at around noon, then drove to our hotel then off to Tuscany. Now I just received 3 tickets for driving in a public transportation zone. I don't remember doing this, but it was 7 months ago. If I did it, fine, I will pay the amount. My question is that they are all for the same thing, and the times shown on the tickets is 12:00, 12:14, 12:15. Sometimes I really hate technology, if I was stopped by an officer, I would have gotten out of this public zone. Here, I just didn't know I was committing a violation.

Can anything be done to reduce this since it's the same violation? My notice says I have 10 days to pay, and each ticket is around 95 euros. That's almost 450 bucks out the door!

Thanks,

Default If your not in Italy anymore, what can they do? Sent the Carabaniari after you?

Although I would watch out, some of them do drive Lamborghini's.

Carabinieri, not Carabaniari

If the ticket came from the Rent company, then they can charge your credit card, I think.
