It’s not great, but it’s Italy. And with it being Italy, it’s actually pretty good!I got there in the afternoon in late January, with a sign reading “Verona”.
I barely got any looks from passing cars, in all the time I was then I think it was two waves at most. But after 45 minutes, Michaela and her young son offered me a ride to Desenzano. As we were driving, her son who spoke English would translate between us, to save me the horror of my broken Italian. She decided that she absolutely refused to drop me at a service station to continue hitching, not because it was dangerous in her eyes, but because she thought it would take too long!
In her eyes, she wanted to take me all the way to Verona, so the best she could do was invite me to her home for lunch, and buy me a train ticked to Verona!
After countless refusals on my behalf, I finally gave in to the hospitality, and had the loveliest afternoon.
“I’ve never had anything like this happen when hitching before!”
“You’re in Italy now.”

Good for getting a medium-distance ride east or west, before the drivers enter the autostrada. Carabinieri were everywhere, but for once they didn't mind.http://hitchwiki.org/en/Desenzano

Hitch on both sides of the road, for a chance to get a medium-distance ride on the autostrada. This spot is good, although carabinieri are using it as a checkpoint.http://hitchwiki.org/en/Desenzano

Many tourists, many happy faces, many cars going many faraway places, and many rides for you. Ask at the car park, or start walking down the road.http://hitchwiki.org/en/Sirmione

Nice spot just before the tunnel as road going right is closed so makes a good spot for cars to stop. Found a ride with a sign to Limone pretty quick.―Anonymous

We took the third car (so cerca every 20th car stopped). It was a very nice and communicative social worker from Sàlo and he helped us to get closer to Prabione. Other places more far that road are impossible to go on foot and just a very few buses.―Cecilky
