We did a lot of driving. Nearly 2,000 kilometers from Rome to Campobasso to Chieti to Florence to Venice to Pienza to Rome. We crossed the Apennini, the mountain range that bisects nearly the entire Italian peninsula from north to south, four times. Much of the driving was on the Autostrade, the fast four lane toll highway network that criss-crosses the country, complete with bridges and tunnels through the mountain ranges. Some of the driving was in city streets, very unpleasant (Campobasso), some of the driving was on country roads complete with sheer drops, dead-man curves, stone walls, no shoulders, narrow lanes, and miles and miles of olive and grape terraces.
Italy is a beautiful country.
