Perfect legal spot to go to Brescia petrol stations. However I paid 12€ to go there. I had a sign with VERONA/VENEZIA but no one seemed to go there in about a hour. I had basically 4 people stopping for me to go to Brescia but I was too stubborn to find someone to at least Verona. Just go to Brescia and move on lol.―cavalierrustique

Good place for hitchhiking. You can stop just after the traffic lights and pedestrian crossing. There is plenty of place for cars to stop, they go slowly and all of them leave the airport. I had Bolzano/Verona sign and after 10 mins I got a very nice ride to Trent―BDalas

two of us waited on a exit from the airport for a lift to Venice. After 1hr 30 min of asking people we got a ride from two Italian businessmen who went to Salo (we didn't refuse to see the biggest lake di Garda)―Anonymous

I asked people for 30 minutes waiting around inside and outside the airport for a lift to Verona, Italy or to Germany. I got a 2 hour ride to Verona in about 30 minutes from a man who was renting a car from the airport to drive there.―Anonymous

I was hitchhiking alone. My friend left me there and I waited 10 min with a pannel saying "Verona". A guy who just left his family at the airport took me to a gas station on the highway around Brescia. I started HHing at 11 a.m. and was in Trieste at 6.pm. Good spot to me―25onten

So this is the spot №1 from the "how to get out of Milan" guide. At least that's how I got here. The instructions were mostly clear and intuitive, though some things have already changed since the article was written. As such, for some reason the metro train wasn't going all the way to Cologno Nord station. Rather it stops at Cascina Gobba and from there you have to take a bus to the desired metro station. The ride was about 20 min long and I didn't even pay for it.When I got to Cologno Nord I followed the instructions and walked for about half a mile in the northeast direction until I saw the big electricity pole. To get to it, I had to jump over a 2 meter wide trench (it's more convinient if you cross it at the car gate to your right). Then I had to make a jump over a yet another trench, this time just below the electricity pole. Though I found the doors to be closed with padlocks so I had to jump over the fence from where you can just casually walk downhill to the gas station.
Advice: watch out for the stingy bushes, wouldn't recommend going this way if you're wearing just shorts and a t-shirt (you're likely to scratch yourself badly due to the dense vegetation that stands in your way).
After I got to the station I got picked up pretty quickly. The driver gave me a lift all the way to Bergamo from where I went with another car to my destined city of Brescia.

After a few minutes we stopped Marco. We asked for a ride to Montello or Costa di Mezzate. He took us through highways and we had a nice chat.―Cecilky

Cars did not stop for us, tried on 2 different days. We looked like casual backpackers, 2 people m and f. Signs written with Verona and Trieste.We took a flixbus to Trieste in the rnd (it was cheaper than blablacar).

I asked my ride to leave me here on my way from Milan to Brescia since I didn't want to enter Bergamo. I was surprised to see that many cars were passing through this gas station even on a Sunday night.Eventually got picked up all the way to Brescia relatively quickly.
P.S. On this Autogrill I came upon a couple of foreign backpackers that were headed to Venezia. They were standing with a sign on the entrance to the gas station, which didn't bring them much success since I found actually asking the drivers in simple Italian way more profitable.
