These maps are meant for cars, but you can see where the principle low-traffic roads are, and get an idea of the surrounding terrain. This will usually be enough to find the best route. In a worst-case scenario, use the books that are in Italian. You can still read the maps, and you can probably find someone to translate for you along the way. Good luck!

I'm just now toying with that very idea; however, it would be in late summer. My thought was to ride from the Italian Alps to the southern tip of the mainland. I've come across several resources with maps, but they seem old, and in Italian. Do you have any places for maps that identify road bike routes? I came across your site.
