Italy Bucket List

My husband and I will be in Italy until late 2014, so we decided to make an Italy bucket list of alllllll the places we’d like to see before we leave.

(originally published May 22, 2013) 

Besides being organized by country, the list really isn’t in any particular order, and I’ll add places to it frequently.

It’s long and kinda vague sometimes, but I’m okay with that. I also know I may not get to cross them all off by the time we leave, but at least it’s a starting off point. A girl can dream, right?

Are there any other cities we should step foot in, festivals we have to attend, or things we need to see? Leave a comment with your suggestions so I can add to the list!
