My daughter was in Venice last June and has told me that for our trip this spring I need to pack differently than I do for Germany. That women dress mostly in skirts and dresses. What have you found?
I have never found this to be the case. I see women of all ages in jeans and slacks. I would advise you just to dress in what is comfortable to you. I wouldn't take shorts and tennis shoes but capris, jeans and skirts will be fine.

If you want to wear skirts and dresses, by all means pack them. I've always worn pants and never had an issue. And there are plenty of Italian women who don't wear skirts.
