If I had 4 days in Italy, I'd go to the Amalfi coast (with a boat trip to Capri & the Blue Grotto). I'd go to Venice ( I fell in love with that place while I was there!). I'd go to Rome (for all the history). And I'd go to Florence. (Spectacularly beautiful! And of course the Ponte Vecchio is also there.)

Have a fabulous trip!

I personally liked Florence. I enjoyed Accademia and seeing David and The Prisoners. Taking a tour of the wine country in Chianti is very much worth the trip. Florence is also a short train ride to Pisa, which is a nice town.

If I had four days then I would defenitely go to Venice and Tuscany. Venice because it's a very unique place and Tuscany because the views from the mountain are breathtakingly beautiful!
Look into those two cities I think that as an artist you'll like those!!
