I lived in Germany for four years & yes the autobahn is fun. The 'ring would be incredible. I didn't have a worthy car at the time, just a truck & a fourth-hand Mercedes.
I will warn you, those Italian drivers are COMPLETELY(stark-raving)-Bazinga-Brazil-Nuts !
They will take a four lane road and turn it into a seven lane, and the odd lane belongs to whomever is doing the most stupid Uhmm Stuff. Seriously I'm aggressive enough to play with 'em, but only when I'm driving something that I don't mind using to bluff my way into a lane or even possibly swapping paint.
Then the curvy secondary roads that have no guard rail, are one lane wide with
occasional turnouts, and have hairpin turns with 300 ft cliffs beside them. When I got down out of the Dolomite mountains, (yes it was snowing too) I had to pull over and thank God for half an hour before my stomach un-knotted.
Found a cool ski resort though.
