Oki doki!

Firstly, I like the length. Around 2.5 miles is a good size for a track for any series other than F1 and endurance racing.

I also like the track's shape itself. However, I would get rid of a few corners and smooth it out generally e.g. the bit on Via Monfalcone.

My other two worries are the location of the pit-lane, and the width of the streets. Although it's a beautiful location and would be stunning to race in, it might be too narrow to pass in some places. I can see a few places to put the pit-lane, but it might get a little tight!

Generally when designing street circuits I'm more of a North American guy myself, because of the width and space and general amounts of tarmac available to scrawl all over. The advantage of this place though is in its picturesque setting.

On the width of the streets several of them are single lane (one car wide) one-way streets. A nice idea but always best to check in both Sat and Map modes when doing these types of design.
