"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 might think you are asking directions as Italy gets a lot of tourists. A sign can also help to avoid misunderstandings. For detailed information on speaking Italian check the [[Southern Europe phrasebook#Italian|Italian phrasebook]] on hitchwiki.
== Eating & Sleeping Resources =={{nomadwiki}}In areas like [[Puglia]] people are so friendly that you can just basically ask if you could crash at their place if you need a place to sleep. In the South, you might also be invited for meals. Table{{wikipedia-diving is good at service stations, at least in the North. == Public transport == If there's no way around it, you can simply dodge the fare on local trains. Conductors usually can't articulate anything beyond "Money" and "Ticket" in English, so just tell them "No money, no ticket" and they'll let you be -- in the worst case they'll ask you to leave at the next stop and you can resume hitchhiking or take the next train.As local trains are taking a lot of stops it is advised to take some of the express/high-speed trains between bigger cities. These trains are travelling really fast and even if you are asked to leave the train, the next stop can be 100-200 miles away so you can cover this distance at no cost.
