Re: Bilatteral Speeding fines

... Le Matin Suggests that there is no official agreement between Italy and CH, just that the Transalpine Police can obtain information regarding infringements via the customs office in TI. Knowing the Italian Police, it's unlikely that they'll bother for small infringements, and even if they did, the fines would have no legal basis in CH. However if you decide not to pay, don't ever get stopped by the police in Italy because you'll wind up getting arrested.

My understanding (have not see the actual agreement) is that as a first step the countries will provide the address details. I think (need the actual agreement to confirm) is that there is also a legal agreement to prosecute fines from one country in the other. In essence, a F/I/D fine would be handled by the Swiss as if you had done the same thing in CH. That is the scary part.
