Italy End-to-End: Rome to Venice

Route: Rome → Orvieto → Val d'Orcia → Siena → Florence → Pisa → Cinque Terre → Varenna/Bellagio (Lake Como) → Verona → Venice
Primary area: Rome
✅ Current month (May) is in this region's prime season. France/Italy/Spain/Greece: May-Jun & Sep-Oct ideal. Jul-Aug 35°C+ + tourist crowds + August closures.

Ten days rolling north by car, from Roman ruins through Tuscan hills, up the Ligurian coast, across the lakes, and finishing on the canals. Long but logical — every big drive has a worthy stop baked in.
