Autostrada No Ticket Issued

[HaylingJag]

Men of Italian wisdom,

having just returned from a euro road trip could someone please advise on the following?

Travelling up the Autostrada from la Spezia to Monaco we hit a toll booth where we stopped to collect a ticket, pressing the buttons didnt issue us with a ticket and as the traffic was building behind and the barrier was up we continued on. At the next toll, to pay at, we tried explaining this to a rather irate booth op. She went off and came back with a ticket and request for 19 euros, fine with that. Though upon reaching our next destination i read fully the ticket issued and there is a further request to pay 70 odd euro within 15 days. My initial reaction to this was to ignore it, as i probably will. Has anyone had this situation and what are the implications of ignorance? Do the Italians have access to our DVLA data as this would be the only way i could be traced?

any info/advice would be greatly received,

cheers
Darren
