Yes, you must go. Go to Rome in the Spring, before it gets too hot. Take a train down to Naples (the Italian inter-city trains are excellent) and then the Circumvesuviana railway (rattly and graffitied but also very good) to Sorrento and spend an evening participating in the evening passeggiata and enjoying the view across the Bay of Naples. Go to Pompeii (fabuluous!). Go up north to Umbria and stroll around the backstreets of Perugia and Assissi, where even at the height of the tourist season you can still escape the crowds if you're prepared to take a side street. And eat ice cream, everywhere, see how many flavours you can get through during your trip :)
