Italy Sightseeing

Italy Sightseeing posts cover the obvious sites and the less-photographed ones. Articles look at Rome with the Forum, Colosseum and Vatican Museums, Florence with the Uffizi and the Duomo, Venice in shoulder months when San Marco is liveable, the Pompeii and Herculaneum day trip from Naples, the trulli of Alberobello in Puglia, the Cinque Terre on the Ligurian coast, Pisa and Siena in Tuscany and the Greek temples of Agrigento in Sicily. There are practical notes on the Roma Pass, on Florence museum reservations and on the slow trains that reach the smaller hill towns.
