You should include Venice; it has been in trouble for decades from pollution, and now rising waters are a constant threat. You want to see it while the world still has it to enjoy.

update:

Venice is a must-see city. It has a rich history, breathtaking architecture, and a lovely culture. It is a unique city, built on islands with canals and around 400 bridges. There is no city on earth quite like it. Costume shops sell wares for Carnevale and glass makers create famous Venetian glass on the island of Murano. Venice is also the hometown of Vivaldi, and where his birthday is celebrated with concerts in the month of May. The Grand Canal is a pleasure to see, as are the charming labyrinthine neighborhoods. Napoleon called San Marco Square the greatest drawing room of Europe. It is lined with famous and historic cafes, peppered with pigeons, and filled with live music playing from within the colonnades at the cafes. Also a fun city for shopping, on the Rialto Bridge and elsewhere. Do avoid it in the fall. That's supposed to be flood season, I believe.

Tuscany is also a delightful place to visit. Many "tours" offer packages for Venice, Rome, Florence. But in Tuscany, there is so much more to see than just Florence. Florence, heart of the Renaissance, is culturally a very important city, though not very impressive architecturally. However, Michelangelo's David is here (Accademia Gallery), as well as other priceless works displayed at the Uffizi Gallery, including works by Botticelli, Michelangelo and Raphael. The surrounding countryside is glorious. Rolling hills, with cypress lined roads leading to farms and villages. Olive groves on the hills give way to vineyards on the slopes. You can stay on a farm ("agriturismo") with all kinds of B&B type accommodations possible. San Gimignano and Siena are beautiful hilltop medieval towns to visit, filled with rustic architecture, beautiful pottery and wines, festivals and surrounded by breathtaking views of the countryside. Siena is home to a popular horse race (Palio) in the summers, and the districts of the town are decorated with different animal mascots and colorful flags.

Nearby in the region of Umbria (where fabulous olive oil is made), is the town of Assisi, home of St. Francis, as well as other charming medieval villages, including Perugia (known for chocolate).

A visit to Italy should always include a visit to Rome, a city steeped in thousands of years of history and the capital of a vast ancient empire. Here you can visit the Vatican, home of the Catholic Church, and one of (if not the) biggest museums in the world, filled with priceless art and antiquities, including Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel. From outdoor markets and Bernini fountains, to ruins and parks, the Spanish Steps, the ancient bathhouse of Calcalla, Trevi Fountain, first class shopping, the list of things to see in Rome seems endless. And the food in Rome is fabulous, whether you eat in a neighborhood restaurant or grab some food at a tavola calda ("hot table"--an informal place for prepared food, like a deli) or pizzeria. (recommended films: "Roman Holiday," "Only You," "Tea with Mussolini.")

There are so many wonderful places to visit in Italy, but this is a start. Remember to sample gelati (ice cream) and wonderful offerings at a salumeria (like a deli). And if you're driving on the Autostrada and see a rest stop that features dining (crossed fork and knife symbol??) STOP if you're hungry. You will be pleasantly surprised at the wonderful and inexpensive food you can get. Some nice souvenir shopping sometimes too, depending on the region. I get depressed coming home to our highways and chain fast food restaurants at rest stops. Hope this helps!

Italy has many very beautiful and interesting places that are popular with tourists. * Rome (but avoid the time round Easter as it is full to bursting). * Venice (gorgeous, but often crowded in the summer) * Florence (with many fine Renaissance works of art and architecture) * Naples (often described as one vast open-air museum). * Genoa and the Ligurian Coast. For the more adventurous, there's Sicily - Catania, Agrigento and Palermo. Just one note of caution. Many of these places tend to be expensive for tourists. If you can do so, travel outside the main season(s) and look for value for money.
