We'll be driving from the Asti area in Piedmont to Lucca in Tuscany in April. Can our Italian members suggest a pretty/scenic route to follow, as well as make recommendations for places to stop (Cinque Terre?) and visit, as well as eat along the way.

Can I also get some idea as to the length of time this drive might take? By looking at some on-line maps, I'm estimating 3-4 hours, is this a reasonable ball park figure for time?

Thanks! John Wiernikowski Hamilton, ON CANADA
