Venice, Rome and Florence are considered the big three for tourists.
Vicenza for an architectural town, which is not over run by tourists.
You can probably find over a hundred towns and cities in Italy that you would like to visit.
Would this be by rail, or car, or what?

Siracusa, Ravello, Urbino
Siracusa as it enables you to live tasting the Past as it is today and enjoy this delicious corner of Sicily
Ravello as it is "the terrace of the world" and to live there means to live in Paradise
Urbino as it is the key to understand Renaissance and to enjoy one of the highest standing of the quality of life in Italy

I'll weigh in on one. Turin / Torino. It might not be everyone's archetypal city when thinking about Italy, but for fans of contemporary architecture, design, fashion, and art, it's excellent and it's a shame that more people don't stop there.

Hm...tough question. I have gone to a few other cities in Italy, but my favorites are still these:
Florence - all the beautiful art, all the unfinished works. A city that's been said Dante would still know because the streets and buildings where he lived haven't changed much - to me, that's amazing. The city itself is a museum.
Venice - romantic, completely spoiled by everything, yet so distinct. There really is no place like Venice.
Rome - what hasn't been said about the eternal city? Modern buildings brush against ancient ones, that fascinates me. That artists from the past still have public works in existence now is just amazing.
Of course, I haven't been to the Dolomites regions, or the Lake District, so I reserve the right to change my views after those visits!
