Italy Packing List Tips by pinganille

Luggage and bags: A good suitcase and a backpack if you plan to travel a lot between different places. And a bag with space for lots of films as you'll click the camera more often than you'd ever immagine!

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Good footwear as you'll walk a lot. And a sweater or scarf for covering shoulders when entering the churches. Also some goodlooking clothes for the evening as Italians really are a fashionable people and it's nicer to try and blend in than receiving infidel glances or overberaring smiles... Finally, clothes that fit the weather - remember that the mountains can be cold, and if visitting Etna, the vulcano in Sicily, that the place has snow even during summer when it's more than extremely hot in the rest of Sicily!

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: I found medicine slightly expensice in Italy. So next time I'll make sure I have every thing I think I'll need in my luggage.
Water is a must as it can be really hot and humid, but since Italy has some of the best spring water in the world, just buy the cheapest brand in the local store.
