Hi Darren,
In Italy the usage of formal language mostly depends on the relationship between two people, rather than their social position, age or professional roles.
Consequently, you can hear young people using tu with older people, employees with their employer, and so on...
That said, when meeting someone for the first time you should be formal and try to address anyone politely, especially if they are older than you or have an important professional role.
