August is about the worst time of the year to visit Italy. Not only are 90% of Italians vacationing (in other words, lots of closed restaurants and stores), the country is absolutely full of tourists and the weather is simply hot with almost zero clouds to make it sort of livable.
Think about that, seriously!
I agree. If you can delay your holiday until October, you will have a much more rewarding experience and will not have to deal with the nightmare of hot weather and hordes of tourists.
