A 14-day Italy itinerary with four bases: Rome, Florence, Venice and Naples. Trains, tickets, day trips and a northern variant.

Bologna has no spaghetti bolognese. Here is what to eat instead: ragù on tagliatelle, tortellini in brodo, mortadella, the Quadrilatero and food trips to Modena.

Turin has the best Egyptian museum outside Cairo, a cinema museum inside a would-be synagogue and the bicerin. Prices, the Shroud, the card and Alba truffles.
