It is possible that transit times for shipments to Southern Italy and Sicily may vary slightly due to distance and traffic infrastructure.
Italy as an economic area
The Gross domestic product in 2021 was approximately $2.1 trillion. This makes Italy one of the 10 most economically powerful countries in the world. The economic triangle between Milan, Turin and Genoa, also called triangolo industriale, is one of the economically strongest regions in Europe. In addition to the manufacturing industries, the service sector is also very well positioned.
The traffic infrastructure of Italy
The road network of Italy has a total length of over 180,000 km, of which almost 7,000 km are highways. The freeways in Italy are mostly privately owned and therefore subject to tolls. Milan is an important hub for the rail and highway network due to its convenient location.
The largest and busiest highways are:
- The A1 (Milan - Naples)
- The A4 (Turin - Venice)
