I've been to Italy several times. In Siena, in late June one year, I had the best Caprese salad I've ever had in my life. The tomatoes in July should be wonderful! It will be hot!
I do not care for Rome, but I only speak tourist Italian. People are much more friendly in Venice and Florence. You will be overwhelmed by the availability of beautiful leather handbags-- and other leather goods-- in the outdoor markets in Florence. If you're planning on bringing home a new bag, Florence is the place to shop for it.
I have been invited to a 70th birthday dinner with high school classmates in Lucca in early September, but I just yesterday decided I'm not going. Several classmates cooked up this idea at our 50th reunion two years ago when they discovered they all love Lucca, where I've never been. Pre- Covid, I would do it in a heartbeat, but personally, I'm not willing to risk all that travel at this point.
I'm looking forward to seeing all your photos!
Here's a shot of the last Caprese salad I had in Italy in 2019, in Rome. It was pretty good, too!
