Well before anyone jumps in with a political agenda, just asking for some suggestions on things I should catch, its my first time.
1) Barcelona, Spain
2) Marselle, France
3) Villefranche(Nice), France
4) Livorno(Florence/Pisa), Italy
5) Rome, Italy
6) Naples, Italy
If you've been I'd greatly appreciate any special detours to not miss out on.
