The Salerno - Reggio Calabria motorway is only passable between Padula and Falerna (almost 200 km) with snow chains; in Campo Tenese, the highest point of the A 3, there are already more than 50 cm of fresh snow..
In Sicily too, parts of the Catania - Palermo motorway (between Enna and Delta Xirbi / Caltanissetta) are impassable due to snow..

A technical fault and ice-skimmed rails brought train traffic between Rome and Lecce to a standstill.. The Eurostar high-speed train was canceled last night and passengers had to endure the night in the unheated train and could not continue their journey until morning..

Campers should start with well-filled gas bottles, the winter tour of Italy.. ,. ,. ,
