Just a last few thoughts as you prepare to leave:
1. Are you renting a car or taking the train for your travels? Either way, consider making the following stops during your travel days:
Rome to Florence - (depending on if you have reservations for the Uffizi/Academia in Florence) consider stopping in Orvieto on the way up - a SUPER-charming little town! There's always Tivoli, too, and the Villa d'Este (I'd personally stop at Hadrian's Villa, but it's a bunch of rocks for most people).
Florence to Chianti - it will take you no time to get to wherever you're going (probably 2 hours at the most), so make a nice lunch break/afternoon stop at one of the small towns like Montalcino or Montepulciano, and visit a neighboring vineyard.
Chianti to Emilia Romano - Arezzo is right on the Northern border of Tuscany, as you head towards this new region of Italy. Very manageable city, and I've got to recommend going to the Archaeological museum (which is built into the ancient Amphitheatre of the city). Plus, the art on the northern side of the city is cool!!!
Emilia Romano to Venice - by all means, stop by one of the auto producers on your way to Venice! SERIOUSLY!!!
From what I hear, the drive from Venice to Lake Como, then on to Milan, is beautiful enough for its own view.
Please, if anything comes up during your stay, feel free to write me (by this blog or by e-mail), and I'll be happy to look up anything for you!!!
BUON VIAGGIO!
