Its a common misconception in certain parts of the world.

Theyve been building roads for some time there. Problem is, they all seem to go to Rome....

Thats a great epsidode. I cant remember if "The Road" was in Italy or Switzerland, but if you want driving roads, Italy is amazing. B, C and even D roads that wind through hills, up mountains, through valleys, around lakes- all perfect asphalt , and mostly empty. Some dont even go anywhere, coming to an abrupt end in some tiny village. And the Italians also understand driving.
