I've wanted to go there ever since I read the classic The Book of the Courtier by Castiglione. Have you been to Urbino?--it's a bit off the beaten track.

Big mistake. It took hours each way and we were exhausted by the time we got home. The town was lovely though.

Somehow it took a lot longer than we had calculated. Lots of places where we were traveling 30 instead of 60. I don't recall a big problem with traffic.
