Italy is a perennial favorite for American travelers. It’s so popular that more than 2 million of us travel to the bel paese every year. Many first-timers hit the big three of Rome, Florence and Venice. Those with a little more experience take the lake country and the cosmopolitan city of Milan, while mixing in some of the Tuscan towns and countryside outside Florence. No matter how many times you go, it’s virtually impossible to see all of Italy. As Giuseppe Verdi famously said, “ You may have the universe if I may have Italy.” These are just a few of the places more seasoned travelers who have already covered the basics can see.
