We will spend 1 week on the Bay of Naples, visiting Pompeii, Herculaneum, and the villas of Stabia.
We will spend 3 days in Florence, where we will see the Uffizi museum, the Duomo, and the Piazza della Signoria, and then spend 5 days in Tuscany. The trip will conclude with an 8-day tour of northern Italy, including Ravenna, Venice, and the remarkable Roman ruins at Aosta at the base of the Alps.
