Hi there,
The month of May is definitely the best to go as it will not be as busy with tourists and the humidity is mild. Smaller towns in Italy such as Livorno, Perugia or Trepani are often more welcoming of visitors in the off-season.

As you will be using trains to get around purchase a saver pass such as the rail pass which allows you unlimited use of Italy's extensive rail network. Also, you can purchase second-class tickets instead of couchettes (private beds in shared sleeping rooms) or by taking night trains.

As you will be traveling to different regions, I would suggest car rental in Sorrento as it would offer a convenient way to travel trough.

Also, consider, climbing the tower of Pisa, sample chiantis in Siena, float down the Grand Canal, Walk the Waterfront in Naples, bicycle through Tuscany, etc.

Find more information on the main site “destination360.com/europe/italy/”

Hope this helps!
