That's my preferred mode of travel, too, even though I'm trying my hand at organizing a more structured tour. You'll find more campgrounds along the coast of Italy than you will further inland, but stealth camping is always an option. As long as you don't make a mess, nobody will ever bother you. Once you know roughly where you want to go, I suggest you buy a Touring Club Italia map for each of the regions you'll pass through (the full map on Italy won't have enough detail), and then plot a route along the secondary roads. Be sure to talk to the locals along the way, because they'll suggest the best roads to take and things to see and do along the way. Good luck, and let me know how it all turns out. Hi Jim!

I've recently done a trip from Canberra to Sydney 10 days just camping where I want and eating where I want. It was great fun so I want to do something similar in Italy. Any tips would be helpful. Jim Pollard Hi,

I’m planning to do a cycling trip in Italy but I’m not sure on how to go about it. I’ve recently done a trip from Canberra to Sydney 10 days just camping where I want and eating where I want. It was great fun so I want to do something similar in Italy. Any tips would be helpful.
