Four days-definitely go to Venice!
It's like slipping into another world-a magical dream.

it depends on where you ar flying in from.
Although the Battistera in Pisa is catholic, it is worth seeing the leaning tower, and there is a fortress around the entire city, and some really great buildings commissioned by the Medici's. Near the tower is a gallery full of great works of art (including some very early woodcuts), and also nearby housed in a building which looks like a workshop are some murals...great!
If you stay in Pisa (which is cheaper than the surrounding cities) then you could take a day trip by train to Livorno, a fishing / beach community, which is charming, and also take a day trip to Florence and visit the Uffizzi art gallery which is home to Botticelli's Birth of Venus as well as some Da Vincis and Van Gogh's. Also in Florence, if you want to skip the Piazza del Fiore De Santa Maria (which, regardless of your religious affiliation is a phenomenal structure, and you can touch the bronze doors for luck), you can walk hrough the squares and eat some fantastic food and visit the Statue of David by Michaelangelo...oh and one other thing...on your way to the Uffizi, stop along the Ponte Vecchio...
okay this is just my opinion...but it's a great long weekend trip...most of all, get out and talk to people in Pisa...they are REALLY great. There is a lovely little restaurant called Michelle's, tucked away in a side street...fantastic noodles with wild boar sauce and a mini bottle of the local red for practically the cost of a hamburger :o)
good luck with finding a trip...Italy is fabulous! :o) Buon Viaggio! (am a little jealous! :o) haha)

Hi,
I would head for Sicily for 4 days.
Nice country, nice food and still possible to avoid the tourist hoards found at the mainland.
Please have some more tips for Italy here:

There are plenty of non-Catholics that can still appreciate the beautiful art and majesty of the Churches in Italy.

I would suggest Rome. The city is huge and you can go visit the jewish district. Apart from this many other beautiful things to visit and all by feet!

Rome is the best for everything or Naples where you can see the ruins of Pompey and Herculaneum

I think you should go down south to Bari and those cities where the "heel" of the boot is. Its beautiful.
