In Italy, people drive on the right side of the road. So cars made to be used in Italy - or any other right-side-traffic country - have the steering wheel on the LEFT side, to put the driver closer to the middle of the road.
The only regular exception are cars imported from left-side markets and some delivery vans etc.
