Italy end to end

I'm planning to cycle from Lugano (Swiss/Italian border) to Trapini, Sicily in July or August this year - approx 1,200 miles. If anyone has done this route before can you offer me some tips. I realise it's hot at that time of the year but have done 8o miles+ per day in 35 degrees C before, so I guess I'm used to it. It's the only time of year I can find the time too. Let me know if you might be interested in coming along.
Thanks

It's really really hot in Italy in July and August (unless you are up in the mountains). Have you got any flexibility about when to go? going in June or September would be better.
I don't know whether the forum uses software for 'obfuscating' emails but it might be a good idea to get people to PM you or at least make it a bit harder for spammers to harvest your email eg yourname[AT]yourcompanyname[dot]co[dot]uk
