I'm looking for a list of road (vehicle) tunnels in Italy. Specifically, tunnels north of Rome.
Thanks

I believe that the tunnel I'm looking for is on the italian Autostrade. It's on the way to Rome (coming from the north going south towards Rome).

I know this is not your answer...
But, there is a 10km tunnel on the A24 underneath the Gran Sasso in Abruzzo, just east of L'Aquila. This would be about 150km EAST of Roma. I've driven through it. The tunnel itself is nothing special, but the area around it is VERY scenic and beautiful...

Aside the tunnels of North Italy, already listed in a previous answer here above there are no long tunnels across the Italian roads system.The motorways tunnels around Rome are not classified and a list of them is nowhere available. They've all a very limited lenghth (the longuest will be arounf 600/700 meters) and really they are not worth with any mention.
