Sorry but I must totally disagree with Travellin Huster's comments. I have been to Italy over 15 times in my life but never north of Tuscany.

I can not tell you how the people of Rome, Naples, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast have treated us so kindly over the years. The most honest people I have ever dealt with while traveling the world. (OK, one exception. The people of Australia are fantastic to tourists)
