We just made this drive a couple of weeks ago. It was a fairly easy drive ..... should have taken around 90 minutes but I had to stop at the outlet mall in Carlsbad on the way. We made the drive on a Tuesday afternoon avoiding rush hour and was surprised how easy it was .......traffic wasn't bad at all. We drove our rental car from San Diego to Anaheim but I had heard there are some buses that make the trip.
Have a great time and take lots of pictures in Italy!
