Congratulations on your anniversary . A couple of points echoing, building on what others have already suggested:

Train stations in Milan and Florence and Rome are crowded — allow extra time. Book refundable business class seats if you can. There are two major train lines in Italy. I have only used Trenitalia, their app works great.

A sturdy airline approved carry-on is a must. Pack light. You’ll need to lift your bags into tight overhead racks, even in business class. Not too many people will help you. You do not want to schlep luggage. If you have older people traveling with you, consider taking a small anti slip bath mat.

Scan important docs to your phone, know your credit card PINs. Bring basic first aid items (Tylenol, antacids, Band-Aids, earplugs).

Stick to wrinkle-resistant, reversible clothes you can wash overnight. Tip housekeeping; build rapport with staff and management.

Day trips are fun, but even short ones can take most of the day. There are some good YouTube vids on italy train travel. You will get a better idea on how to read the departures and arrivals. For those must sees in Florence or Rome be sure to investigate whether you have to book in advance and book via the “official“ sites.

Also, learn some basic Italian phrases. It’ll be much appreciated.

IMO, that is too much time in Venice. Cut it down a day and add a day in Rome to just soak up the atmosphere.

Agree.

Trains to and from Venice get packed in summer, especially on weekends. Book high-speed tickets early, travel off-peak, early or late in day, pack light—Santa Lucia Station is a zoo. What people shlep on board is nutso.

The difference between the standard and the base business from Florence Venice is about €17 and the difference from Venice to Rome between standard and the base business is about €25 per ticket. So not much.

The executive class can be double or more times the standard fares.
Use the Trenitalia app.

Don’t get distracted by the word base in the ticket prices. You can also get refundable tickets.

I’m sorry for your loss. Stay strong for the family.

You'd have to compare channel lineups for your area. And how much you'd use them.

Here is a generic comparison.

I use YTTV. A plus is that I can use it in multiple devices, and it has (unlimited) storage for recording.

But price has increased from $35 to $83 now over seven years.
