Congratulations on your wedding Sotterraneo, we're arriving in Vicenza on May 31st and staying there through June 3rd (on the 2nd and 3rd we're day-tripping in Venice from Vicenza), and then back there again at the of our trip (which is when the wedding is). The remainder of the itinerary runs like this:June 4th = day trip in FlorenceJune 5th = in SienaJune 6th-9th = in Rome, Naples/Pompeii/HerculaneumJune 10th-13 = in Vicenza for the weddingI'd be happy to try to visit with local Italian Acaeum members, though I'm not likely to be bringing any trade bait---we're packing quite lightly wherever possible.
