What are a few popular places (preferably cities) in Italy?

If you're looking city with vineyards, I suggest you visit Tuscany.

There are many interesting places. Rome is the best!! Naples is a very typical italian city..a lot of things to visit but you can't go everywhere on the night (you don't know who you can meet)! Anyway, another interesting town is Venice!!! IT'S A CITY ON THE SEA!! You'll do a tour on the gondolas (typical boats of this city)! There's Milan, an industrial town, with a lot of skyscrapers, but in my opinion, there's nothing of interesting to visit! There's also Bari, south of italy, and it's where I live!! There are lots of things to visit! And this city is very famous because there's the real ITALIAN FOOD!! Pizzas and Pasta! And near Bari there's Altamura, a town, who makes a special kind of bread!! Now, you just have to choose what place you would like to visit! have an amazing trip :D

Venice is a dream. There is no other way to describe it, though countless writers and artists have tried.It is also very crowded. It’s a city that really rewards getting up very early and exploring before the crowds get too awful. Then, go back to your room and have a nap during the heat of the day, returning at 3:00 or 4:00, by the time everyone else is tired and ready to leave. Of course, you have to see the main sites of San Marco, etc, but it’s a really great city to just wander about in. If you get lost, you can’t get too lost, because you’re on an island (when you’re in Venice, each time you cross a bridge, you’re on another island). If you find yourself in Piazza San Marco and the crush of tourists is just too, too much, know that sanctuary is nearby. There is a place that is literally just 2 minutes from the Venetian Ground Zero, but is quiet, tranquil and beautiful.

For vineyards I would choose Sicily. There's alot of info here http://www.beauty-and-romance-of-sicily.com/ Good luck!

Rome, Florence, Venice, and Naples Those are famous. Sicily and Capri are popular islands, but they aren't famous. My sister went to Italy last week, and she didn't like anything in Rome but the Trevi Fountain (still go there) Naples' fame is missing detail like the lack of traffic laws, and it's a mess. don't go there. Venice is great, Florence is never regretted, and everyone who goes to Capri, says it's the greatest part of their trip. Capri is Augustus' home. It is a limestone island with many features. Sicily should be a day trip.
