Cities and villages of central and southern Italy

We start in Rome for the Vatican, the ancient world, art and architecture. Then on to the Tuscan hill towns clinging to the cliffs. Next, the Renaissance glory of Florence. From there we take the train back to Rome, where we stay in and explore a different area of the city. We will head to the Adriatic coast to get away from the (other) tourists at the Gargano Peninsula and cave-dwelling Matera. Then on to Greek Paestum and the Amalfi Coast, then chaotic Naples, including a trip to Pompeii. We will add an extra day to see Herculaneum before taking the train back to Rome for our flight home.
