The vintage shopping is pretty great in both cities. I remember Epoca in Florence and Twice in Trastevere.
Walking around Trastevere is cool as hell. Taverna Trilussa had delicious pasta and Roscioli was great for a mid-day bite
Drink lots of coffee and wine! Even the gas stations have good espresso.
If you have time, stop through Siena. Thought it was such a mysterious city with spooky nooks and winding maze-like streets. Half fort, half village.

avoid the crowds by getting up early to watch the sunrise at the Trevi Fountain. we grabbed a capuccino and pastry in the courtyard and spent an hour waking up to the most beautiful view. then we booked it to the Colisseum and explored it leisurely with only a handful of other people around. by the time we got out the lines were LONG and we still had a full day ahead of us!
also check out the Capuchin Crypt (if you don't mind looking at human bones). fascinating lore

a study issued last month found that dancing is the most effective way of treating and mitigating depression. Walking, therapy, and yoga also outpaced SSRIs. and if you're saying 'oh this was probably funded by Big Dance', there's no evidence of that and if you're saying 'that's just what a Big Dance shill would say', well honey you're right
