The Autostrada A1, nicknamed Sun Motorway, is the oldest European Highway and the most important in Italy. The highway links the biggest italian Tyrrhenian-side cities: Milan, Bologna, Florence, Rome and Naples. At 754 km, it is the longest Italian autostrada and it runs parallelly to Adriatic A14.
It is a part of the E35 and E45 European roads.
A1 reduced Milan-Naples travel time from two days to just seven to eight hours. The mountain crossing Bologna-Florence part is named Variante di Valico.
History
Building works began in 1956, and the entire track was opened on 4 October 1964 by then-prime minister Aldo Moro. All the 1950s and 1960s administrations wanted this major infrastructure project to be completed as quickly as possible, as it was a great boost for the national economy.
The part between Rome and Naples was originally numbered A2, but was incorporated into A1 following the opening of Rome bypass from Fiano Romano to San Cesareo on July 21, 1988.
