Precaution: never leave your luggage unattended. Keep your wallet invisible and in front of you at all times, e.g., in a pouch on a cord around your neck under your shirt.
Be prepared to walk up and down steps; it's hilly there.

Hi, Kegge. My son Eric and his wife celebrate their 20th Wedding Anniversary in Italy mid April.
Venice, Florence and Rome are three cities on the itinerary. Any others you'd recommend?
Venice: The gondolas are very expensive. If it is something you feel you must do then try and arrange to share with others and be prepared to haggle.
Do not sit at any of the cafes in St. Mark's Square or you may need a bank loan to setttle the bill!
Florence: Watch out for the Gypsies. They target the tourists like nowhere else I have visited. They send their little children (below the age of criminal responsibility) to rifle through your pockets and they are difficult to stop; what can you do? you can't hit a little kid. Do not let this put you off Florence which is a wonderful city; standing in front of Michelangelo's 'David' is awesome.
Rome: The Eternal City - Magnificent.
