Answer 5

Sardinia is beautiful, the best sea in Italy. Gargano i very nice as well (its in the heel of Italy, Puglia)

Perugia and Assisi in Umbria (Umbria is a beautiful region to drive through)

Cinque terre (Liguria, towards the north of Italy). can only get there by train, it is on the sea.

If you go to Sicily you could stop in Taormina although is very turistic

Pompei and Sorrento near naples. Dont' miss them

Answer 6

lol, first off, i wanted to let you know about the driving in southern italy (anywhere south of rome, really).  i don't know if this is more advice than you want, but they're crazy!  i lived between rome and naples for high school, and believe me, i know!

naples is dirty.  i mean, it's has cool history, and pompeii is right there, but for my family, we always felt going to naples was a chore.  dirty, smoggy, and just not that much to offer.

pisa isn't that far from rome, easily accessible by train, but the tower isn't as big as one would think!  there are a lot of cool towns in Umbria and Tuscany, though.

and you say you'll drive to these places; try taking a train when possible. it'll be a lot cheaper and relatively calm, especially with the way the southern italians drive!

i highly recommend a town south of Latina on the Tyrrhenian Sea (a part of the Med) called Sperlonga.
