I got incredibly lucky as a Romanian truck driver picked me up (the BEST people) and I had a sign to Genova, but ended up going further as I wanna get to San Marino. Hard to get into this spot as i walked on the road, and police came and waved a finger no, but i ignored them and thankfully got a lift quickly after―SunnySupertramp

We waited an hour and a half, at first out of view of the Tamoil gas station employees, but then it turned out they were cool with us asking for rides from there. multiple people offered to pick us up, but mostly not going far (to San Giuliano Milanese) or the wrong way (Bergamo).―road2riot2k25

Heading north to Brescia/Verona: This is actually just another gas station on the highway. Heading to Bologna from here you'll def find someone. Brescia/Verona was a bit harder though. In addition I wanted to add that in case you get stuck here as I did at late night there is a golf field just behind the gas station. If you're advanturous enough (and don't have a tent on you) jump over the fence, cross the golf field and you will see some cabines where you are save from the weather. I spend a quite comfortable night there without being disturbed by someone :)―Anonymous

Quite big gas station.If you will get stuck there for a night you can follow the local road in the direction of the city and really soon next to the church there will be playground for kids with some grass and running water where you can spend a night.

Waited all day in the sun, only had a sign to cremona less than 20km down the road. Had to put my hammock up overnight until I finally got one the next day. Trucks wouldn't take me as they feared the police.―Anonymous

This looks to be the most obvious way to get out of Brescia and from here you can go to any direction you want.To get here you can just take a short walk from Volta metro. There will be a gas station and when you walk past it, you will come across a comfy side of the road that seems great for HH, at least in theory. In reality though, despite a decent amount of traffic, it can be extremely hard to stop anybody here (especially without a sign).
If you get frustrated after waiting for a long time, I can recommend checking out the two gas stations on either side of the roundabout for any cars that may potentially go in your desired direction.
I rate this spot 4/5 just because it is one of the very few ways to get out of Brescia.
P.S. I'm going to post other ways to HH out of the city after I've discovered them. Look for any recent updates

Been asking around gas station if someone's going into bolognia direction. Not that many people were going there, most traffic to east or north. But apparently we've asked some businessman and got a ride in a brand new Volkswagen SUV taken 2 Hours ago from the dealership. Also the guy was a DJ and showed us his tracks.―Szymon

We had to go there like 5km through the forest and the river because we've been left on the prior gas station going in the direction of Milan. After getting to that station first people we asked took us to Piacenza. Turned out it was s pretty famous Italian director―Szymon
