Eat, drink, see the sites and have fun! I lived in Milan for years so my best wardrobe happened there. Via Condotti is a must-shop in Rome.

Good point. Focus should be on what to do, not what to avoid. The food can be fantastic and should be sampled at every opportunity. One noticable difference is the relaxed attitude to public drinking and smoking. Their nanny state politicians are far more advanced than ours and hence are on to bigger things than smoking and drinking bans. It's no big deal in most places to buy a single beer or two if so inclined and sit in the town square having a few drinks and watching humanity flow by. You can even see people smoking tobacco products exposed to the full light of day in some places!:)
