fiumicino airport
My travel agency insists we have plenty of time to connect in Rome from our Alitalia flight arriving at 8 am to connect to the 9:05 am flight to Venice. Can we make the connect? Will our luggage? Should we bring our carry-ons for a 9 day trip? Thanks.

Hi J,
That's a short connection.
For only 9 days, I wouldn't have any checked luggage going out.
I would bring a laundry bag in which to put dirty laundry and check that on the way home.
Souvenirs go in the carryon.

For a nine-day trip, you only need carryon. And your travel agency isn't the weather channel. How can it predict the plane will take off or land on time?
That said, a friend of mine just flew into Roma on Alitalia and had an hour layover and connected to another Alitalia flight, no problem. And she'd checked a bag.
Have you looked to see how many Alitalia flights are going to Venezia that day? If you miss it -- due to flight problems -- they'll just put you on the next one. I'd book the earlier flight rather than stick yourself with the later one. It's highly possible you'll make the first one.
