Italy: I've never been asked for a PIN, which I don't remember and I'm happy not to have to. It was swype and signature, then it became chip with signature and it's contactless without signature now, but only for amounts under 25 Euro, I think.

Also Italy: I've never signed when paying with my card, whether chip or contactless. Always PIN, except if it's contactless and the amount is low, in which case no PIN. This is also what I see when I see others pay for things in shops with their card. Not sure how to match this up with your experience...

Different regions? Milano here, but I really never used a PIN even when I used my cards in other cities around the country. If some shop asks me for a PIN I would have to pay cash or with the debit card.
When did you start paying with the PIN?
