I will be in Italy from April 1-18. I plan on travelling by train from Rome to Pompeii (Naples?), Rome to Venice, Venice to Florence, Florence to Pisa, and Florence to Rome. About 4-5 train trips.
Should I buy individual tickets or a monthly pass. How many trips do you get with a monthly pass? Thank you!

Here are the Trenitalia Pass options.

With a little bit of planning and advance purchases, you should be able to beat these prices. Pass will not help between Naples and Pompeii as that is a private railway and tickets are pretty cheap.

Bear in mind that you get a pass for flexibility, not for savings.
More:
- No pass can be cheaper than point-to-point discounted tickets purchased months in advance
- From Florence to Pisa you'll take A cheap Regionale train run by Trenitalia. Regionale trains have no reserved seats, can't sell out and offer no discounts. Just Like high speed trains, You can get a Regionale tickets 6 months or 16 minutes before the departure; but unlike high speed trains, on Regionale trains the prices and the T&Cs do not change
- The Naples-Pompeii line is served by a local railway company called Circumvesuviana that does not accept any pass
- There are 2 railway companies running high speed trains on the Venice-Florence-Rome-Naples line: trenitalia.com and italotrenl.it. Italotreno sells discounted tickets, too.
- there is no Italian city called Florence in Italy. Or Naples. Official sites use Italian city names: Firenze, Napoli etc.
