Exploring Italy's Roman Empire and its surroundings while practicing responsible tourism is an exciting way to delve into the rich history and culture of the region. To fully appreciate the attractions, food, and wine specialties, I recommend planning an itinerary that spans approximately 10 to 14 days. This will allow you to immerse yourself in the ancient ruins, indulge in local cuisine, and explore the surrounding areas.
Here's a suggested itinerary for your trip:

Day 4-5: Pompeii and Mount Vesuvius
- Take a day trip from Rome to Pompeii, an ancient city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Wander through the remarkably preserved ruins and witness a snapshot of Roman life.
