Wife and I spent a similar about of time in Italy. We had the pretty standard Rome, Florence, Venice plans. What made it easier for us is that we flew into Rome and out of Venice.
Few notes:

Rome has amazing history but Florence stole our hearts. It’s simpme the ideal hub for many days trips. Do yourself a favor and spend a day in the Italian countryside and enjoy a glass or bottle of Brunello.

Pisa was worth the detour however Verona ( Juliet’s balcony) was a complete waste of time.

Ferrari museum was a car lovers wet dream.

If your travels take you to Venice a day boat trip to the either island of Murano or Burano is worth the time. These two islands are home to some world class glass artisans that will amaze you.

Italy won’t disappoint

We did the opposite and I agree that it's a better way to travel a country like Italy if you arrive and depart from different cities.

We alo fell in love with Florence and the Tuscan countryside. We had an amazing vied of the Ponte Vecchio from our hotel balcony. I suspect we'll feel the same way about Piedmonte (northern wine region) when we go again in September.
