Exploring Italy sustainably and responsibly is a wonderful way to experience the country's rich culture, diverse landscapes, and delicious cuisine.

However, I can offer a general itinerary suggestion that includes some of Italy's most iconic destinations. Please note that the itinerary duration will depend on the specific places you wish to visit and the activities you want to include. Here's a suggested itinerary:
