2 days/nights between Venice and Rome
We will be on our honeymoon in May. We only have 2 full days and nights to get from Venice to Rome by car, but are struggling with what to see/where to stay: Florence and/or Siena? (my travelling friends argue a lot about that) Farmhouse somewhere? Montalciano? Lucca? Assisi? Pisa? San Gimignano? Any suggesstions or idea would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How/why by car? Nuuna my business, I guess, but it is simply quite unusual to have a car for a TWO day rental - - at least not at a good deal price. Or is this part of rail'n'drive?
Anyhow, Assisi is a good choice.
Florence is the other obvious choice, but the car will hardly be an aid to making this trip via Florence, and an actual hindrance in Florence itself. The train is the mode of choice for Venice to Florence to Rome.
Whatever your decisions, congratulations on your new life in marriage.... and...
Best wishes,
Rex

Well, now that you've been "instructed" about "the way" to travel between these places, perhaps it might be more helpful TO YOU if we knew why you chose the automobile mode. I have in the past traveled between these cities by rail because it ie easy and fast. However, you'll have more flexibility in a car so is that the overriding reason for driving? If not, then you might re-consider using rail.

smccullough, getting back to the original question....
We have stayed in Siena, Montalcino and Castellina in Chianti and have enjoyed them all. My suggestion would be dependent on if you want an in-town experience in a larger town, then Siena. If you want an in-town experience in a smaller hilltown with lots of good restaurants and brunello, then Montalcino. If you want to unwind in the country, then Castellina...or Greve which is another lovely area.
