If you're on a petrol station it's a good idea to stay on friendly terms with the staff. When starting, it's probably a good idea to find a spot before drivers encounter the ''no autostop'' sign, but it is still possible hitchhike while you have ''no autostop'' behind you; once you have passage onto the ''autostrada'' it is fairly simple to skip from one service area to the next until you arrive at your destination. It's less likely that you will encounter problems if you're not Italian -- and, if you speak Italian, don't reveal this to police (or the armed forces ''carabinieri'').
'''Strada Statale(national road)''' - Because of gas station problem in Italy(see above), you can try hitchhiking on ''Strada Statale'' - SS. It takes little bit more time, but you meet more local people and you can see beautiful nature, they can drive you extra kilometers, so you could arrive to destination or invite you to have a lunch with their family.
