PS, krgystn,
Since you obviously like to come back to Italy a lot, one way of deciding how to apportion time on this trip is make sure you give enough time to the places that are hard to get to or out of the way. For instance, Ravenna and the Dolomiti are at the fringes of most good transportation connections, and it does take effort to get there, so for many people, going there once in their lives is the reality. But it if you ended up feeling like maybe you "short-changed" Bologna or some of the other destinations in this trip, even Venice, it is really not hard to go back because they sit right in reach of excellent air and train connections.

I'm not surprised at all you found the Dolomiti to be the best part. I believer you! I am surprised more people don't have it at the top of their list of places to go in Europe. It is a jaw dropping place. Bologna is fun, too, and I was just there and saw that they have finally taken down the scaffolding around the basilica and it is so much more beautiful then I would have guessed. Another great surprise in Italy and a reason to return to Bologna. Lots of trains and planes go there.
