Ark and Laura in Florence 2005 (20 of 172)

Even though the autoroutes in the different countries are marked slightly differently, it is difficult to get lost. One thing that the Italian autoroute does sparingly is indicate distances. I guess they figure if you want to go there, it doesn't matter how far it is. In France, the distances are marked regularly. However, in Italy, every single tunnel we passed through was not only named, it's exact length was measured and announced down to the fraction of a meter!
