I agree with the general direction of the conversation.

Are you really interested in the Renaissance, Renaissance art, the Medici family? Then go to Florence.

Are you really into ancient history, ancient Rome, archeological ruins? Then go to Rome.

Whichever choice you make, get reservations in advance for the major museums (Academia, Uffizi Gallery in Florence; Vatican Museum--you'll need to get into a tour--and Borghese Museum in Rome). This will save hours of your precious time otherwise spent waiting in a queue.
