Luggage And Bags: Good luggage with wheels for the cobblestone. And extra compact bag for bringing home souveniers.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Shoes! Good Shoes. There is cobblestone here. Keep in mind that some of the main streets flood and you need to bring shoes that can tolerate the water. Compact umbrella. Fabulous scarf for those chilly nights. Pay attention to how the locals wear them. So chic.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Sunscreen, Hat, Bug Spray
Photo Equipment: Good camera batteries and film. So much cheaper and easier to find at home. One guy ahead of me in line tried to buy AA batteries for his camera and they charged him per battery rather than by the pack.
Miscellaneous: Washcloth. The hotels in Italy don't have them. In fact they only have one large bath towel then several hand towels that are made out of the same type of cloth that I would compare to cloth napkins. This was the case for the three hotels where we stayed in Italy. Also, bring a good language guide.
