Well it was pretty incredible.
Visited Rome, Florence, Siena, Naples and Capri. Rome is just.... Rome. I love how you can walk around the city with no destination and run into these gorgeous statues and fountains... and the people watching in Rome is great.

Florence was overrated. And overrun with tourists. The lines for everything were hours long so I didn't bother trying to see the famous stuff. I skipped out to Siena.
Which was gorgeous! To those that recommended it- molto grazie!

Naples was dirty, gritty, covered in graffiti and construction everywhere. It was interesting in that it wasn't so touristy and felt more real... but not much to see there.
Mt Vesuvius was cool though and the Pompeii ruins were interesting.
Capri was very glamorous and fun with the cliffs and pebble beaches.

I was unimpressed with most of the Italian men... I wanted them all to look like the soccer players and instead they were really skinny with bad teeth. Or old with bad teeth. But they do know how to make a girl feel good about herself.

The food and the wine were just the best ever... I tried to eat the regional specialty everywhere I went... which meant a 500 gram Florentina steak in Florence that was practically still mooing. Limoncello in Capri (nasty!), pizza in Naples (though I liked Roman pizza better).

So many places and things I didn't have time to see so I'll have to make a return trip soon.

I did. The Blue Grotto is just as amazing as they say but it's a ridiculous tourist trap in that you have to pay 3 times over to get a 2 minute ride through the grotto.
