Traveling to Italy

[nolanfan34]

So who has been? My wife and I are planning a trip for the early Fall, and I was hoping to get some recommendations and thoughts from those who have been there. Must see cities? Unknown gem off-the-beaten-path towns? Recommendations on lodging, or researching lodging?

And yeah, I know, google, etc etc, but I find that people on here usually have good recommendations.

Mostly we want to enjoy food and drink, and do some wine touring as well. Seeing the classic sights is also good, but not as huge of a priority.
