There are several places I would recommend:

Rome: 4-5 days
Pisa: 1 solid day
Florence: 1 day, be sure to see david
Venice: 2 days, maybe 3
Capri: 1, maybe 2 days
Milan/naples: optional... 1 day each.

Rome honestly has so much to see that you could spend your entire two weeks there and not feel like you'd seen enough... then again, it all depends on how much you want to see per city

Definitely concentrate on a few places. Every Italian city has so many layers to be peeled back and discovered. It really depends on what time of year you're going. I actually spent two years in Italy without ever visiting Florence or Rome. My favorite places were the Amalfi Coast (especially the island of Ischia), Ravenna and Genova. I also really liked the small towns of Piemonte such as Alba and Bra.

I suggest that you try to book a ticket that flies into Rome and out of Venice. Then, you can spend time in Rome (4 days), move up to Florence and Pisa (3 days), stop in the Cinque Terre (3 days) and go to Venice and Verona (4 days). That's an easy itinerary for a first-time visitor who wants to take in the major sites, but it gives you time to enjoy the different cities. All of the stops are on major train routes so you don't need a rental car. Also, if you go in spring you'll be moving south to north as the weather improves.

I also have a real soft spot for Turin. See the link below for info on travel in Italy (it's my personal site).

the main inexpensive way isn't turning right here and there like a three years previous baby in an entertainment park who desires to attempt each and each attraction, yet determining that Italy is a huge united states with important distances between one place and yet another, and that many places in Italy are so complicated and exciting that ought to deserve better than a glance. the main inexpensive, and likewise the terrific way, is staying in a position or in few places for a lifelike time and taking area in this place or those places without hurry. whether you chanced on an exceptionally inexpensive thank you to place your plan into outcomes, what might you get on the top? a huge hassle, a huge exhaustion, quite some time wasted in trains, puzzled and overlapping memory for the reason which you will have had a rushed look of lots of issues while not having the time of information something of everyone. And besides you would be a techniques from understanding Italy, you will have only scratched the exterior of... no longer even of Italy, yet of the main touristy places of it, probable those you have frequently heard. the two Naples and Pisa, themselves, might deserve a circulate to (Pisa isn't "only a tower", that's a advantageous city, nevertheless maximum individuals hear only the tower); i think of the difficulty isn't "what", yet "how" traveling.

I am partial to Tuscany having lived there for over three years. You Have Pisa, Florence, Pistoia, and Lucca for interesting stops. You fly into Rome, and head North via rail after looking around. It pretty much depends on how much money you have to spend. The more you see, the more expensive it will be. Venice and Trieste are nice in the East, but not December through April.

DON'T GO IN APRIL IF YOU HAVE ANY TYPE OF ALLERGIES!!! Carnivalle (Marti Gras equivalent) is held just before Lent and Via Reggio gets crowded during that time.

If you don't mind driving I can really recommend it. Then you don't have to plan so much in advance and you can decide where to go depending on weather etc.

The roads are good, but people drive very fast and sometime very reckless.

Sorrento was very nice but touristy, Siena was beautiful as well.
