Venice by all means - it may be carnival and you'll see lots of costumned masked folks walking all over town as I did a few Januarys back.
Bologna is also a great town - Vicenza and Padua are nice easy day trips from Venice and each have stellar attractions in their own right - Vicenza a pervasive Palladian architecture and Padua some neat churches and a lively town center.
Try the roasted chestnuts you'll see being sold all over at this time.

Another vote for Bologna. When I was there did a ton of day trips---easy for Venice, Ravenna, Parma, Padua, Modena, Mantua. So many choices----but also give yourself enough time to roam around Bologna itself which has lots to see and small museums that are in charming palazzos. I's suggest an apartment near Piazza Maggiore.
