bluepie, We are sold on September/early October travel. I think this link will take you to our trip report for Rome, Tuscany & Cinque Terra http://www.fodors.com/forums/threads...2&tid=34699548
Last year we went to Bellagio, the Dolomites and Venice in mid-September. We were in Venice in late September and it was quite warm during the day. I have been remiss in getting my trip report done from our last trip, perhaps this will give me the push I need. Have a wonderful time planning (almost 50% of the fun of a trip) and a marvelous vacation. Shirley

We have always had very good luck with Sept. in Italy. I would feel more comfortable with that time of year, especially in Venice & the Alps. The mountains can be cold though, mid-upper 30's is possible. On 2 trips to Venice, the weather was mostly sunny and 70-80.

Personally I love September especially in my neighborhood (the CT area). The crowds have died down some yet the weather and water is still warm. Also, hotel pricing go down, always a good thing!
You should also have better weather farther north than you would in the spring. Venice will be crowded but it is pretty much that way Feb-Nov. It's still a fabulous place to visit...

Hi, if you wish I know a great small company that works in Northern Italy that helps in trip planning, they respond to general information and questions. They even offer a travelers assistance program if you utilize the service, they will provide you a phone number to call if you need assistance or even get in a bind traslating or otherwise.
You can email me at [email protected] if you want the info.
Good luck
