Hi
If you're set on seeing all those places, than it looks fine.
I too would spend more time in fewer places, but that's your call. If you don't want to give up Positano, then reluctantly I'd take a day from Florence and add it on to Venice, since one of your days in V is your first, tired, arrival day.

Dear Amrach,
I agree, add a night to Venice taking one away from Florence.
Also, at that time of year Rome will be very hot, so I would add an extra night to Positano, which will be a relaxing way to end your honeymoon.
My brain hurt by the time we left Florence & Rome! The coast was so easy and enjoyable.
Good Luck & Enjoy!

Hi, I was just in Florence and Rome and you are planning on a perfect amount of time to stay there. There is so much to do and see, you will never be at a loss.
When you are leaving Rome, you may want to stay in the Hilton Airport hotel because (as the name suggests) it is right by the airport and they have a shuttle that will take you. The hotel also has a very large and delicious breakfast buffet.

Hi amrach
Nice trip.
May I suggest that you go to Positano after Florence and then do Rome at the end?
It's only 3 1/2 hr Florence/Naples compared to 2 hr Rome/Naples.
I also suggest that you take the ES* trains. They cost a bit more, but they are more reliable. On our Italy trip we took the IC from Naples to Rome. It got there 2 1/2 hr late.
