Autostrada A15 (Italy)
The A15 is an Italian autostrada (motorway) connecting Parma and La Spezia through the valleys of the Taro and Magra Rivers. The road is also known as Autostrada della Cisa because it crosses the Northern Apennines at the Cisa pass. The main 101-km expanse of the motorway connects the A1 with the A12 (Genoa-Rosignano Marittimo), thus directly linking the Po Valley with the Italian Riviera and the Versilia region.
