Well, I loved the Amalfi coast and one of the most amazing places was Pompeii! Check out this cool website with all sorts of great information on this ancient city: http://rome.mrdonn.org/pompeii.html
I have just arrived in Florence and I just saw one of Michaelangelo's most famous sculptures, David... I also visited a a really neat museum called the Bargello museum, it also had quite a few Michaelangelo sculptures and Donatello's works of art too. Michaelangelo and Donatello were two great artists that lived 500 years ago! Michaelangelo was especially talented, because he painted, sculpted figures out of marble, wrote poetry and also created frescos (paintings on wet plaster). One of his most important works was the painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican (where the head of the Catholic church, the Pope, lives)... It took him FOUR YEARS! Check this picture out:
