Dear HorizonMum2, Hi, I am Italian, from Milan. First of all, seen the season, April, I would concentrate in the center and south of Italy. All the north and Milan included can Be very wet and rainy, maybe not but better avoid. In my opinion, better to see the main cities of center Italy, Rome above all, Florence, Pisa, then south to Sorrento, Capri, Pompei. The only north option I would consider is Venice. I think Milan is worth only if you have already seen the rest and if your main interest is shopping (at crazy prices). As for restaurants, please as Somebody else told you, please, try to avoid touristic restaurants. The cities centers also have "normal" restaurants with our real great food, not the touristic one, bolognese or whatever! Not many know that the south of Italy is amazing, Puglia, Sicily (full of culture, history, archeology) Sardinia (isle) above all. If you need further advice I can give you my email address, let me know! Hi ItalyMum... thank you so much for the detailed explanation... would love for you to share your views... you can email me on horizonmum2 at gmail dot com... I've been in love with Puglia for the last six months... you'll never believe where I've seen it... hehehehe on Bold & The Beautiful (daytime soap) one of the young couple gets married there and they were airing the sights and sounds of Puglia for almost three months!! GORGEOUSSS... so will definitely look at this... we will probably do as you suggested and limit ourselves to central and south Italy, Rome, Florence, Pisa, then south to Sorrento, Capri, Pompei. Looking forward to your email... one of the challenges I have is to find somewhere appropriate to stay... travelling with us are our parents and also our children... so we're a group of 5 adults and 2 children... ideally I'd like to find a 2 bedroom apartment or so to stay in each of those cities... or a cheap B&B
