Yeah it's quite an experience. After my trip there a few years ago Italy became my second favorite country. Don't know your travel restrictions, but in the countryside obviously Tuscany is remarkable just to look at. I can't remember exactly where, but we visited a castle that some of the Medici family was rumored to be hiding in and it was really cool. If you want me to go digging to look that up I can.

If you have time to travel around for leisure you should check out the Pompei area and go to Sorrento and Positano. Yeah Rome is the grand daddy of it all, but there is so much to do/see there that you could spend at least a week there and still not see everything you want to.

Actually I am not spending much time in Rome & Florence (where most go). I am trying to stay true to his route, which means starting at Naples and ending in Trieste - with lots in between. Luckily I have operational reports so I know where his unit was most of the time.
Looking forward to it in a big way!
