What a spot, I had a sign to Rimini and got picked up by a lovely lady in 15 mins, petrol station for people to drive into, lots of cars going by and traffic so they can see you―SunnySupertramp

I took the tram T1 to the airport and walked there. Many people are going to Prato. After asking around for more or less 20 minutes I got a ride to Bologna―hitchiker69

Arrived by ferry (which i paid for) in Ancona. I stood near the exit for cars with my prepared sign, and someone stopped in less than 10 minutes and took me to an Autogrill in Bologna.―RosaBurg

I had sign to Bologna and after first hour I gave up and went to the city. After some hours I returned and I get a stop after 5 minutes. But I think that its a bit illegal here since two police cars told me, that I cant hitchhike there, but I explaind them, that it is not highway yet (they were laughing at my italian and let me hitchhike - cool guys).And italians are not into taking hitchhiker so the driver was Albanian.

Honestly not really a good spot, but if you are lucky there will be someone doing a show for the cars at the opposite traffic lights so I think its well worth it to just chill there and wait for someone who takes you to the end of the city for better spots😆―Filipnatripu

very bad spot, the highway sign is placed so that all the good spots for hitchhiking are blocked off and you will be risking a fine if you pass it, also be careful, it turns out there are 2 signs marking the start of the highway, where one of them is just for show i guess cuz we got police kicking us out behind the first one, which we didnt notice at first. If you are heading towards Firenze it should be okay since we got like 5 cars stopping, but noone is heading towards Bologna. If u end up here going towards Bologna, I recommend making a sign and standing at the road marked by the map, where most cars pass through and try finding a place with the most space at this road, its not ideal, but its better than nothing.―Filipnatripu

Was looking for a ride south along the Adriatic, we found one before we even got to the spot we wanted to hitch from by walking along the SS64 with our thumbs out. Bologna is great!―road2riot2k25

Got lucky that some workers were opening the gate as soon as I got to the station. Not sure if access is possible otherwise. No sign, asking people directly. Most foreigners were down but usually had full cars, a couple of Italians on their way to Vicenza dropped me off in Bologna.―Anonymous

We started at Rimini Nord toll booth and easily got a ride here. It was very hot in the morning so we didn't want to wait. After 10 minutes a camper driver saw us waving from afar and came back to pick us up. He took us to Samoggia a little town after Bologna. One girl one boy.―GiovanniTonucci

Take a bus from Bologna to somewhere here(comes over the bridge and stops close behind the runabout) and then u can walk (back) to the petrol station. To go north cross the highway at the brigdebuilding!!! (i took the tracks-mud!!!)went north, dont speak italy, took about 20 min...

Best place for going north towards Padova. Take the bus to stop Bentivoglio Z. i. Barche and then walk on Via Sammarina for 500 m, then turn right.―Anonymous

Good place to go towards north (Milano) or south (Florence) on the A1. IMPORTANT: If you press the button of the pedestrian-crossing light right at the intersection, ALL cars for your direction will IMMEDIATELY stop in front of you. That will help you a lot.To get to the place you can probably get a bus to the intersection of Emilia Ponente / Viale Sandro Pertini.

Don't fully agree to what above me said. This only applies when you don't have a lot of luggage as the traffic light is only red for about 25 seconds (which isn't a lot).Then for Florence cars can't pull over to the right very well as they gotta go straight in general.
I still got away after about 90 minutes, but it was quite dangerous.
