If you would like to visit Italy by bus or car and you cannot use ferries the best itinerary for most of the visitors is always driving from North to South by the West coast and form South to North by the East coast (or opposite)
If you arrive in Italy by boat or ferry the main ports all around Italy, Genova, Livorno, Civitavecchia (Rome), Naples, Palermo, Bari, Ancona, Venezia, are always well connected with the most important touristic cities and venues. Morover most of the times are themselves amazing destinations.
If you flight we suggest you, whenever possible, to book your ticket to start your itinerary in a city and end it in another. Internal flights are often not cheap in Italy and many cities are flighing only to rome.
