Leaving Locarno, we crossed the Italian side of the alps and descended toward Milan. Heading east toward Bologna we found a flat, hot environment. Spent the night in Bazzano, at the Alla Roca Hotel, which Bill said reminded him of a place you might find in Jerome, AZ. The next morning we drove over the mountains into Tuscany, on the smaller back roads. Slow going and some tight traffic but very scenic.
