After Visiting the Italian Lakes
Spending 3+ weeks in Italy with first part of trip consisting of 3 days in Lake Como. After that, we will have about 4 days before we meet up with another couple back in Milan for the remaining 2+ weeks. My question is where do we visit for 3 days before the remainder of our trip? We will pickup a van in Milan and will be renting a Villa in Cortona where we will visit some hill towns and then a villa in the Sorrento area before we finish in Rome. We have already been to CT, Florence, Venice, Portofino and the travel for the 3 days must be by train. Any ideas - very open to suggestions.

Thanks for the suggestions. As for travel dates we will be there in the middle of September. I was personally leaning towards Bologna but did not know what else would work well if we added that city in the mix. Thanks again.
