barefoot peasants spread large sheets beneath the pasta trees throughout the orchard and shake the fruit from those trees....and then, they pour all the pasta in giant vats and barefoot female peasants then get into the vats and walk around on husks separating the pasta.....:~) (jk)

If you want avoid tourists I would suggest late December thru January and hope the weather cooperates. I went in college and Italy was quite pleasant for that time of year, but check with a good travel agency specializing in off peak season tours.
Go Tigers!

My wife and I went to Italy on our honeymoon. It was April, so the weather was great. Rome and Florence are a must. Go on lots of wine tasting tours in Florence and the wine country in Tuscany. Italian red wines are incredible if you’re a wine person. The isle of Capri might be the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen (other than Clemson, of course). Naples is the worst place I’ve ever been. Don’t waste your time and money there.

I recommend Jan-Feb time frame so that you can catch Carnival in Venice...that’s a must at least once in your life...weather is pretty mild is not too bad...
Rome is bad@$$ and by far my favorite city because of the massive amounts of history that floods that city. (Year round)
Naples is a must see because of its beautiful waters and cliffs..(year round)
Of course you must see Pompei when you are there...very breath taking.

Been there many times but to me time of the year isn’t as important as location. Pick a spot first - Tuscany (Florence Cinque Terra, Luca); Sorrento (Capri et al); Venice; Rome.

and the weather was great. Plus that time of year the days are very long. It was close to 10 before the sky was dark.

Before Muslim immigration destroys the inherent history & culture, and turns the country into a Middle Eastern state?

Thanksgiving week was great. Not as many crowds, weather was perfect(mid 60's) and our VRBO apartment for the week was about 1/2 the price compared to summer rates. Also, Pompeii tours that include Mount Vesuvius only run March-November so we still got to do that. Watched Clemson/USuC game stream from phone to our TV that started at 2am.

Get out of the tourist traps

Go check out and stay for a few nights in the Cinque Terre. We stayed at an AirBNB in Vernazza for a couple nights. It is a magical place that is stuck in time. Hike between the villages. Go out for dinner and get a cone of fried fish and listen to live music. Go swimming in the small bays. It is a wonderful place.

Cinque Terre in April was perfect. The few days we spent there was the highlight of our two weeks in Italy. We enjoyed Rome and Florence, but driving a rental car through random small towns in Tuscany with no agenda and then a few days at Cinque Terre was awesome.
