Travel passes for Italy?

I am planning to visit Italy as a tourist.
My plan includes staying in Rome. Then travelling to Pisa and then finally travel to Venice from Pisa.
As you can understand this would involve a lot of travel within the cities (by either bus or Metro) and also intercity travels, preferrably by Trains.
Can you please suggest if there is any all inclusive travel pass that i can use for this purpose.
I am aware of a Euro rail pass, but that is not the kind of thing i am looking for.
I need one combined pass that would enable me to trabvel both within city as well as intercity.
I have travelled in Switzerland and have used a pass like this. It is normally valid for 4 days and enables you to travel all kinds of transport. There is also a discount in special transport tickets in site seeing location.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

There isn't a pass like this. You can buy all your point-to-point tickets at one time from an automated machine at the first train station you visit, however. Train travel in Italy is very cheap and it's always cheaper to buy point-to-point than passes.

I recommend not to buy a pass in the US, it's a lot more expensive. Buy the tickets just before the departure, at the train station.
I recommend this site:

www.trenitalia.it

buon viaggio!

Last time that I went to Italy, there wasn't a pass like that. There are passes for unlimited use with cities, but they do not work for other cities. Sorry. Luckily, public transportation is cheap in Italy. Plus, you end up walking around quite a bit. You will probably only use a pass for Rome. Pisa is a dingy town. You will probably only go to the Leaning Tower (which is within walking distance from the bus terminals), and then get out of there. As for Venice, the best part of the city is walking around and crossing the numerous bridges. Trust me, I've been to all three cities. Not having an all-inclusive travel pass is fine.

Passes as such only exist for students, studying locally and for the local elderly.

Travel to outsiders in Italy is generally cheap. The exception being Venice.

On the whole a local bus ticket costs €0.80 and is valid for one hour.

On the railway stations all the Mina stations have multi lingual ticket machines.

Fares are very good on local trains but can get expensive on the high speed ones. Get your ticket close to departure from the machines to avoid the booking fee which for a short journey cost up to three times the ticket.

a few years ago I travelled from Pisa to Florence to Sienna and back to Bologna to Verona to Padua finishing in Venice. For just over €60. today that may reach €70.

ONE FINAL POINT failure to validate tickets either on the bus or before you get on the treain ca result in gruesome fines.

Safe travel
