See, this is great!  It is "how OSM represents the four-tier bicycling network hierarchy" in Italy (counting international, and here, Volker does).  I don't know if there is (or should be?) a wiki page for this (likely best in Italian, I'd guess), but it is good to see it expressed here, saying "this is how we do this in an entire country."

I pointed us to our USA page earlier (and said a few things about it in my previous post).

Germany?  Do you have such a wiki?  Nobody is "going to the principal's office" if not, I'm simply curious.
