My husband and I are traveling in June/July with his Godparents to Italy. We'll be spending 4 days or so in Rome, then making our way up to Florence/Tuscany, then to Milan to fly home. Total of 14 days (though let's only count 12 due to travel time...)

We are looking for specific ideas in the northern region. Does anyone have suggestions for cooking classes, wine tasting, hiking trails, perhaps a visit to an Italian sports car manufacturing plant? (hey--if he's going to cook with me, it's the least I could do...)

Although about 25 years separates our ages, we're all pretty healthy & active so we're looking for activities unique to the region that would off-set the Italian cuisine I'm sure we'll be enjoying!

Your suggestions would be very much appreciated!

You <i>might</i> get some useful resonse. But I recommend you re-post w/ a better title. &quot;Activities&quot; acould be asking anything about anywhere in Europe . . . . .

You can visit the Ferrari museum in Maranello (Modena): THE Italian sport car.

cookie, janis is right about reposting. There are so many people on Fodors with great information and experiences they love to share, you just have to catch their attention.

Repost with where in Italy you will be and the interests of the group.

This was your first post, you've come to the right place, just want to be sure you get all the helpful information available here.

Have fun doing your research, Deborah
