I used to live part-time in Napoli, which is right on the coast. It's Naples, right south of Rome, and that's a good place to go, especially Pompeii. You can see the the statue, like people who got frozen in ash, or got covered in ash. Sicily, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is not as leaning as I thought it would be, but it's a great place to go as well.
When my family went to visit, one of my favorite places to visit in Italy is five little tiny coastal towns on the edge and they're called Cinque Terre. They're really fun, really teeny tiny villages. They're like, the beaches are great, it's fun, the weather's nice, there's a lot of homemade gelato, and there's even like some little bookshops and stuff, and it's just a really fun place to visit. Be wary of nude beaches, but other than that, it's fun. It's a fun place to visit.
There's definitely never a shortage of things to do in Italy. In every city, you can go down into the middle part of the city, it's called Centro, where all the old buildings are. You can go see the churches and the cathedrals. And outside of any city, there's always these little really cool towns that are cool to see with old architecture and everything. Sometimes you can go to the beach. The beaches are very beautiful. Just go see as much as you can. The history there is incredible and I don't regret going to see anything. So go see the old churches, go see old architecture. The cool thing about Italy is there's different history anywhere you go. So in Sicily, you'll see different things than you will in Rome, but it's really cool for that reason as well.
Obviously there's a lot of places to visit in Italy, but I think one to add to to your list is called Matera. It's actually where the new James Bond movie was filmed, but it is like one of the oldest cities in the world or something like that, and it's it's incredible. It's one of my favorite places, so you'll have to give that a visit.
There's obviously a lot to go and see and do, but if you ever have the opportunity in Rome to go to the Amalfi coast, I would recommend going to the Amalfi coast and going to a small town there called Sorrento. It's beautiful, and if you ever have any opportunities to go to a duomo that's near you, always go to see the duomo. The artwork is always beautiful. Another town that I loved was Agropoli. It's outside of Battipadia in Naples. Obviously going to Napoli is amazing and eye-opening, and there's some really neat underground catacombs and little tunnels that you can go to and explore.
