We've driven up and down the boot, but Italian driving is for the young and brave. Get one of these quickie language courses. You don't need to get fluent, but Italians appreciate the effort. Capri is gorgeous. One trip we decided to visit every place Etruscan, but we had a car. We were able to bring out the best in apparently every Italian there because we had our Maltese with us...they'd actually cross the street, stroke him without saying a word, then go back to the other side. Waiters brought him food from the kitchen. One brought him a bowl of water and held it for him. Another. Open shirt, hairy chest, gold chains...mr.macho...had to hold him during a funicula ride. Who knew that a longhaired Maltese with barettes in his hair was the secret weapon to conquering Italy? One museum i loved is the museo nat.di villa giulia. It has my favorite statue in the world, the sweet, touching "sarcophagus of the spouses." Worth it. Buon viaggio!
