And, spent more time there. But, I liked Rome too.
I also very much liked Milan & Naples. (I've been to Italy 40 something times. So, I've seen a lot of the country, though nothing south of Naples. And, my family is from way south.)
Found Pisa charming; Genova friendly & good food, but found the brown water in the harbor weird.)
Also, really like Torino. Como was cool but it didn't "feel" as italian.
