The best period to enjoy Italy is from mid April to mid June or mid September to the end of October, when the days are usually in the 70-80s F/20-32 C, with nights in the 50-60s F/10-20 C.

July, August and the first half of September are generally quite hot (high 90s F/34-37 C), humid and very crowded with tourists.

The winters in the north are chilly -- 50s F/10-15 C or colder in the day and much colder at night (often below freezing).

In the south, winters are milder, but you'll still find it too cool to lie on the beach or too drizzly to tour happily. The best time to drive the Amalfi Coast is May to mid June and mid September to mid October, when there are fewer cars on the road.

Bring a sweater for evenings year-round.
