Italy was a great place to be stationed! I loved Florence, but I was more into Rome...so much to do and see! Too crowded in the summertime, I found it was best in the winter. Less tourists. I know this is an old thread, but if you are into the museum scene, check out the Borghese Gallery in Rome. It's a bit out of the way, but easy walking distance from the Roma Termini, and well worth the detour.
I'll have to second the Florentine Steak - incredible! A bit pricey, though!
The pickpockets on the metro were horrible...my mother came to visit once and we took her to Rome for a 4-day weekend As we were getting on the metro, a kid of no more than 8 years old tried to pick her pocket. I saw the little bastard and gave him a little kick and he ran off. And, of course, they blame everything on the gypsies!
Back to lurking...
