Day trips from Florence are easy. Lucca, Cinque Terre, Tuscany, etc. Don't forget Bologna!

Ravenna has amazing Byzantine mosaics if that interests you, and I found it to be an easy stop-off between time in Venice and Florence. But Florence is wonderful. If you haven't been there earlier on the trip, I suggest at least a couple of days there (or all 4 days, depending on your interests). I've not heard good things about Rimini, but haven't had direct experience.
