Well... you will know for sure in a year or so time! lol

The only Blitzer I know of is here... on the SP50 road just before you come into the village(near the only Esso station), then you make a right to go up Stelvio. To go to the Esso you would need to turn LEFT at that intersection.

The Blitzer is on a long straight country road between some farm (corn?)fields. The Blitzer is on a big pole and you have to be blind not to see it! Then you come into the small village at the base of the Stelvio Pass - before turning right and heading up into Trafoi/Stelvio.

That said... the Italians don't have to blitz you from up front. They normally blitz you from behind or from the side. And it's a white flash not red like here in Germany.


Btw... IF you are still in Stelvio... you should pay Francesca a visit at the Albergo Post - Posta Hotel in Trafoi.

Or at the top of Stelvio... stop at the Perego Hotel where her brother Victor runs the hotel up at the summit. They are both great people. Maybe you could ask them about the Blitzer if your still in the area. ?

I've studied the map again and we didn't use the SP50, just the SS38.

Here is where the suspected flashing happened. Somewhere between the black lines.
