I've been to Italy and I recommend Florence above all and if you like ancient history, you
HAVE to see and walk Pompeii; its an awesome experience because its so well preserved
and you'll be amazed by the murals/mosaics in the homes and just how well people lived!

I was stationed in Naples for two years in the 1970s. It was such a wonderful change from anything I had ever experienced before!

History is still alive and right there for you to touch in Italy. Naples was not exactly the cleanest place I have ever been, but it was not far from Rome which is modern and at the same time, unbelievably ancient. Florence was more quiet than Rome and much more artsy. It is still an ancient city and wonderful to visit.

I recommend trying everything, the food, the customs. Visit the monuments, archaeological sites like Herculaneum and Pompeii, Vesuvius, museums, any and everything. It is always wonderful to immerse yourself in something that is new to you.
