Hi Charles Welcome aboard... I will let others more knowledgeable than me answer your specific questions, but I would like to clarify that Rick Steves is not part of this Helpline (unless here under a pseudonym) - it is a loose community (I know - don't call me loose) of volunteer travelers, some more and some less experienced, who help each other and the greater world by calling on their collective experience. Just in case you expected an answer from The Master himself. Many of the answers can be found in the RS Italy 2011 guidebook, BTW. Happy planning...
