    I highly recommend a small town called Volterra south and east of Florence. I rode buses to get there, but it's a really nice little hill town with a couple of good restauraunts and the country side is rather spectacular. Mind the last comment applies to most of the small towns in Tuscany.

    A word to the wise: pay more attention to your new wife than to your photography.

    Anywhere but Pisa! In my opinion- a dump with a couple of famous buildings. Watch out for the driving in "historic districts" They will ticket you, even long after your visit is over and also watch for the speed cameras with the same result. My favorite place to photograph there is San Gimignano with Montalcino running a close second.

    Siena has been mentioned - but make sure you don't miss the countryside around Siena itself, and one of my favourite places is San Galgano

    Mandatory in Chianti, of course.

    Yes! I took my 8x10 and my 4x5 on our honeymoon to Victoria BC, Vancouver BC, Jasper ALB, Banff ALB. This may come back to bite you 19 years later!

    I'm prejudiced, but if you want someplace less often pictured, try Grosetto and its neighbor Castiglione della Pescaia. You can get to Grosetto from Firenze by train, them bus to Castiglione.
