We have found via a FIAT "Studio" (FIAT doesn't call them "Dealerships") that the manual transmission can be flat towed.
"RV owners will be happy to hear that the Fiat 500, with a manual transmission, can be towed flat behind a motor home; however the automatic version would need to use a tow dolly." iVeho.com
My posts shouldn't be taken for factual data. They are purely fictional, for entertainment purposes and should not be constituted as actually related to scientific, technical, engineering, legal, spiritual or practical advice. Amen.

Why tow it? Just pick it up and put it in one of your storage compartments

Usually, yes.
However, Fiat is not listed in the application charts.

I would totally ignore what a dealer sez. look in the owner's manual under towing behind a motorhome or recreational towing.

You're right, actually that is what I wanted to say but it was so much easier to just say dealer. 
I know you should never take the advice of a dealer.
Thanks Bumpy

But then I guess the original Mini was kinda small (and I have owned 7 of 'em over the years at some point in my distant youth).
