Hello-
This is my first trip to Italy, i will be solo. I'm will be landing in Rome on the 30th of January, for a 22 day visit in Italy. My first 10 days will be in the Naples area and my last 8 days will be in Rome. In between I have 3 nights that I have not booked as of now. I want to go to a lesser know area of Italy, I thought of Florence or Siena but I really don't want to be around huge crowds and and tour buses. I'm looking for a 3 night stay somewhere that is not so touristy before I head to Rome. I enjoy longs walks, good food of course and seeing anything of historical significance.
As of now, I'm interested in filling this void with a trip to the city of Perugia with a day side trip to Assisi. But I'm a little worried that Perugia will be a ghost town in February. Any advice or suggestions much appreciated.
