Great idea with one remark: Instead of Brindisi (ugly and boring*) just go "a few" km further south to Lecce. One of the most beautiful and livable small cities in Italy!

* on one of my many trips by ferryboat to/from Italy my car broke down while disembarking and I had to spend 4 days there. Mind you, that was in 1989... My Lecce experience, in contrast, is relatively recent (2008).

Also, on the way south when driving from Rome, you absolutely have to stop in Matera to visit i Sassi!
