ffs Valdobbiadene, if you bump into the Chief of Police, tell him you don't know @Bernie from this forum ;-) great cycling terrain among the 175 prosecco vineyards, alot of strada bianci roads and lumpy hills, local gargle is good and cheap.
You have to visit Venice at least once in your lifetime, take the train to the Grand Canale (Santa Lucia) it'll be packed but there is loads to see away from the main sights, all within walking distance. Some incredible artisans working with glass and gold leaf.
Verona and Vicenza both great citehs.. if you like architecture, Palladio Villa Rotonda and Teatro Olympicio are a treat.
Food wise you can't go wrong, eating seasonal and locally sourced food. The Italians import nothing and produce enough to export worldwide.
