I recommend skipping cabs and buses between destinations. One site often ignored by guidebooks is the subterranean crypt under Santa Maria della Concezione (Via Veneto 27) not far from Piazza Barberini. Five rooms beneath the church contain the skeletal remains of 4,000 Capuchin monks, arranged in hearts and rosettes. It is a must see and an amazing work of "burial art".

His books are great and will give you good advice in terms of what to see. He also gives good tips in general about travel in whatever country you are in. I would also get an Italian/English vocabulary book. I have heard the Italian's don't speak much English. Take LOTS of pictures and I know you will have a great time. I wish I could fit in your suitcase:) Also, be sure to make photo copies of your passport/Drivers License and keep it in your luggage. It is a good safety net if your wallet were to get stolen.
