Right now I'm wondering Venice to Cinque to Florence to Rome or Venice to Florence to Cinque to Rome? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both?

Right now thinking 3 day/3 night Venice, 3 day/3 night Florence, 2 day/2 night Cinque, and 4-5 day/4-5 night Rome?

I love Venice and I think three days there is too many. Do you like wine? If so I'd fit a couple of days into Piedmont or The little towns of Tuscany. The lakes up north are incredible too.

What time of year?

I highly recommend MAY

I'm sure the fall is nice

Italy can be quite warm

Every post spot on. Lake como is worth a visit as are all of your sites. 2 full days in Venice are plenty. Many impressive sites in Italy. If u travel by train do it at night if possible. Have fun and watch your belongings. Gypsys all over and they pose as train porters and grab your luggage. Wear neck wallet everywhere. Otherwise trip will be great.

Sounds great! We're doing a very similar trip this July: Venice 2 days, Florence 3 days and a day trip to Volterra and san gimignano from Florence, 3 days in riomaggiore (cinque terre) stopping in Lucca to bike the city walls on the wall there and in pisa for the leaning tower on our way back from cinque terre, 4 days Rome. I'm excited!
Is your trip going to be this summer or next?
