Did a small tour in Tuscany. Started around Siena, went to San Gimignano, Volterra, Piombino, then ferry to Elba, small rides there, back to land and then to Grosseto, back to Siena.
It was great. Lots of gravel (we rode some parts of the Tuscany Trail trails), picturesque towns, great food of course.
Downsides: camps were usually full, Elba is nothing special for cycling, it was really hot, and some of the trails were really rough and steep.
Italian drivers, and German tourists, are in general very careful and good road companions.
If anyone has any specific questions, I'd be glad to share our experiences.

It is great to hear that the drivers are accommodating and respectful to cyclists.
