When I went to Tuscany in August one year, the day temperature in Florence never dropped below 80F. But when I went up in the Apennines, in Umbria, it felt quite cool in the woods and needed a wrap or a light sweater (may be mid- 50's). So it depends where you go. So if you are going to stay in cities and in Chianti region all you need is summer shirts, though if you feel the chill you may find something that covers your arms useful at night.

Sneezy- You should certainly take a sweater,just in case for cool evenings but also to put on when going into a cathedral or duomo- you must have your arms covered. I wore sleeveless most of the time but always had that sweater over my shoulders or in my bag.

More than likely you won't need anything heavy -- odds of hitting those "cooler" temps are pretty slim. HOWEVER, do bring a long sleeved (light weight!) cardigan to cover up when going into a church -- wearing sleeveless shirts (and shorts) will prevent you from entering any of the churches.
