Italy advice needed!

[blamebrampton]

I'm off to Firenze again in November, and am trying to fit in some extra jaunts while there. Annoyingly, Milano looks as though it may be out of the question, sorry kareina ! But I have hopes for a couple of research trips for a book I am working on.

Has anyone travelled to Viterbo or Bomarzo by public transport from Roma? Is it sensible to plan either or both as day trips? Is there a reliable bus between the two? And any way of getting up to Lago di Bolsena? I have been trawling through train schedules and Bomarzo at least seems quite doable, but any local experience or tips from those who have made the trip before would be gratefully received!

I will let you know the itinerary as soon as I have it sketched out. It is going to be a rush, but I am looking at Sienna and Pisa once the conference is over in Firenze, as well as Roma and a few stops around Viterbo and Lago di Bolsena.

I would so join you for a trip to Sienna--my quick walk to town to go to a meeting at the geology dept convinced me I want to go again when I've got time to look at it. Other places are possible, too, depending on timing. What conference?

This one! http://www.costume-textiles.com/pages/page.asp?idcontent=92&lang=2

And that sounds like a plan. I will update you when I have details.
