Pros - well equipped Decathlon beside, large roundabout to wait, good spot to drop off while arriving from Modena, 1,50€ train by Casalecchio Palasport station or bus from Ceretolo Vivaldi (Riale is 2,20)Cons - this spot takes you into the main road to Bologna and potentially into the highway but you should be sure whether driver goes north, east or south so that you don't get stuck on the highway.

A pretty nice restaurant + gas station that's perfect if you're going in the Eastern direction (Verona, Padova, Venezia, Udine and also Slovenia). Way harder to find anyone who would be going North to Trento. Also I found it quite tricky to get to Modena from here. I waited for a couple of hours and got tired after asking more than 100 different cars so I decied to go set up my hammock behind the gas station, oh how naive I was. There's NOTHING behind the gas station. Just some persimmon plantation, private property all over and a road leading to a ghost town. Though there is a nice restaurant 500 m away from the station (I asked for some food but they refused to give me any. Then the most beautiful waitress offered to buy me a pizza with her money but I gently refused <3) and a big truck parking where I made friends with some Slavic drivers and they gave me their food too.After some time I lowered my demands and ened up going just below Mantova.

Tolls. Awful spot, don't even consider getting on autostrada out of here. There's not only a guard's booth directed on the tolls but also police pass by here regularly. I was trying my luck here in the evening with a sign to Modena but the police patrol car saw me from the other side of the road and I was lucky enough they didn't notice the sign that I threw in the shadow right away. I ended up telling them that I'm waiting for a friend to pick me up so they just told me to move away from the road and wait thererating: 1/5, wait: 20 min

We were two people and just asked the people on the gas station. We wanted to go to Modena to go further to Bologna. But no one was going there so finally we got a ride to the train station of Isola della Scala. Not recommended, strange atmosphere there!―RoSi, September 2016

Huge gas station on the highway. Most cars going west, Parma-Milano, but also many north, Verona-Brennero. To get there take the bus from Modena autostazione and get off in "tre olmi" (on school holiday there are few buses and it might be preferable to walk or take another bus half the way). Go left in the roundabout down "strada tre olmi". There's a hotel next to the gas station, and from its parking lot there is a kind of always open swinging gate through the fence.―Anonymous, August 2013
