Would an Italian police officer read an arrested American in Italy his rights (Miranda or otherwise) at the time of arrest? If so, would they say them English?

Re: Rights

Dear Sir,

According to the Human Rights Rome convention and internal criminal law any person arrested for an alleged crime has to be informed in his/her language on the reason of the arrested and the possibility to use an attorney.

Very truly yours,
