Best Season to Travel to Italy
I know heat and high tourist season are in June/July/August but I'm wondering if my original thought of going in Septeber puts us too late in the season weather wise. We don't neccessarily want to travel in the rain.

I'm with StCirq. The year I lived there, though, it was cold until mid-May, then got HOT---there was no spring whatsoever, we went right from winter to sultry summer. I've had great times there Sept-Oct, although in Rome last Sept there were a few very cool rainy days.
The only times I'd stamp my foot and refuse to go would be July & August because I simply can't take that much heat and humidity.

Early May was a wonderful time to be in Italy this year. Only rain was May 5 the first day we arrived in Rome. Also visited the Amalfi Coast, Florence and Venice where we had perfect weather.
Have gone to Rome in Jan. and found it wonderful as far as getting into places without the lines. Cold,but sunny weather when we were there 2 years ago.
