Florence: Siena - better by bus than train
Pisa - train
Lucca - a real sleeper, one of the finest walled towns in Europe
well there's many more but those are the best IMO
Rome- Pompeii - to some a long day trip - 3 hrs by rail each way or so but so awesome
hadrian's villa and Tivoli - villa one of finest Roman archeolgical sites and Tivoli for the famous Villa d'Este fabulous water gardens
ande... Ostia Antica - ancient Rome's port that is now a primo archeaolocial sites - easy by suburban metro line
Yes, Orvieto, one of Italy's primo hill towns - by rail thence funicular from station up to the top of the hill
well those are i think the major ones that many folks do

Yes Bologna from Florence - did it myself this January - been to Bologna before but not in my recent memory - one of Europe's most overlooked cities - i guess because Venice and Florence get all the attention.
But both a visual and a culinary delight - miles of arcaded streets make this a good rainy day destination
