Am I insured to drive my friend's car in Italy?

I am visiting a friend in Italy who said I can borrow their car (that they've insured) while I'm there for the week. I have a full UK driving licence and am 23 years old. Will I need to get separate insurance to drive their car or I will be okay on their insurance?

If they say you will be covered on their insurance, take them at their word. The car is probably insured 'any deriver'. You can't buy separate insurance for this in the UK.
