European route E33 is a series ofroads in Italy, part of theUnited NationsInternational E-road network.
It runs betweenParma andLa Spezia, both inItaly.
It leavesParma, where it links to theE35 and heads south-west, reaching its destination ofLa Spezia, where it further links to theE80, a transcontinental route. This is exactly the same route as theItalian A15.
In practice, the number E33 does not appear on any road signs. Instead, its entire stretch is signposted as E31, creating a duplication with theE31 in Germany and the Netherlands. This goes back to the numbering set forth in the original European Agreement on Main International Traffic Arteries (AGR) of 1975, in which Parma - La Spezia was numbered E31 andRotterdam -Ludwigshafen was numbered E33. These numbers were swapped upon the AGR's entry into force in 1985, apparently resulting from the fact that the Parma - La Spezia route is entirely situated east of the Rotterdam - Ludwigshafen route so that the former should under AGR principles have a number above the former. This numbering change, however, never made it onto Italian signs.
