Do not know much about Italy but I bet you my half eaten sandwich that there are hundreds of unlicenced pax at the controls over France every single week-end... My Dad let me fly his Jodel for the first time when I was five years old and every time I was in the bird with him after that... It is current practice in all french clubs or owners over the Alps... No big deal and what a good way to transmit a passion! If you had to pay or register as a Student Pilot before having a go, there would not be many candidates to the licence. Safe flying all. Al.
