4. Regla
If one of those verbs is used before QUE, the subjunctive must be used after que because it expresses wish.
Usually, there are 2 DIFFERENT subjects in the sentence: 1 before que and a different subject after que.
If there is no que, there can’t be a subject change and the infinitive is used.
Quiero VISITAR Italia.

Quiero que VISITEMOS Italia.
