Spanish is easy for Italians to understand.
"Hitchhiking" is ''autostop'' or ''passaggio'' in Italian. Just say ''faccio autostop'' or ''cerco un passaggio'' and the name of your your destination or show your thumb, otherwise Italians would think you are asking the directions as Italy has a lot of tourists. For detailed information on speaking italian Italian check the [[Southern Europe phrasebook#Italian|Italian phrasebook]] on hitchwiki.
To avoid misunderstandings for both of the above, it's a very good idea to write a sign.
There are a lot of tourists from Austria and Germany, especially in summertime. The new European car plates start with a letter on the left side of the plate, representing the country. Most Austrian (A on a plate) and German (D on a plate) are on the way to the sea or on their way back from holidays, so if you want to go North or South, try to find Germans or Austrians (usually, they speak better English than the Italians, too).
Another option is stay on the [[A4 (Italy)|A4]] and ask trucks on the gas petrol stations. Many trucks go to Austria, Slovakia, Poland and more north through Slovenia to tank diesel there becouse because there is cheaper Diesel diesel and on the roads there aren't so many hills so it saves fuel.
