I would like to visit Calabria, the region where my family is from. I thought I'd fly to LaMezia Terme and then visit Montauro, Soverato, Gioisia and that area.
Ask yourself, which city offers most what you hope to experience. Rome is large, noisy, and wonderful! You could easily spend your entire week there, exploring the many sights and neighborhoods. You could take a day trip, if you desired to get away from the city. A world of history, art, architecture, ruins, etc. as you know.I've only been to Milan briefly, so I can't comment, although I do know it's the business capital. Venice, is a different world. Very atmospheric, with the canals, neighborhoods to get lost in. You could easily take day trips from there to Verona and Vicenza, and even perhaps to the Trento. A week is not much time, and the time of year of your vacation, plays a role, too.

AK Traveler,Thank you for that insight. It's good to know that the drive is easy and the road was good.
