Luggage And Bags: Try to keep your luggage small and pack as lightly as possible. The hotel rooms are small and so are cars. If you're travelling by train, the smaller the bag, the easier to stow in the overhead luggage compartment.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Comfortable walking shoes but I would like to add that as much as possible, try not to wear sneakers. I noticed that everyone was so well dressed and hardly saw sneakered feet.
I'm not one who worries about getting wet in the rain but this time I will actually suggest for you to grab an umbrella. There is so much to see that you shouldn't let a little rain stop you from seeing the city.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Bring your usual prescription meds and some over the counter pain pills and cold/flu meds. Most stuff sold in pharmacies are labeled in italian and have information inserts that are in italian as well so buying a common cold medicine becomes trickier than it should be.
Photo Equipment: I took a digital camera that had batteries that seemed to last forever. I charged it only once in 2 weeks and I don't have to worry about developing the pictures. Biggest bonus is that you can delete the pics you hate right away. One mini disk stores over 120 pictures if taking fine quality pics.
