Hi Stephan,
Congrats and all that...... In my experience, having travelled with ladies on the pillion in both countries, I would suggest Spain. The general standard of driving there is slightly less frenetic and slightly less "latin" than Italy, and the Spanish police have been having a real crackdown on driving standards in parts of the country. Haven't heard that's happening in Italy. (I got fined for speeding in Spain a few years ago, cash on the spot and not very cheap. In Italy, you get berated for going too slow!)
Also, again in my experience, you'll have to keep a guard on your lady less in Spain than Italy, but, on the other hand, she may enjoy the extra attention!
Cheers
