Italy: is it good
for a family trip?
Yes, and the route from Boston is well served. About 11 flights a week connect Boston to Rome, including a dedicated winter service block, so this is not a summer-only option.
Frequent service to Rome, then a train north.
About 11 flights a week run between Boston and Rome, including Delta's winter block, which keeps this route active outside the peak summer months. Reaching Florence or Tuscany from there means the train, since there is no nonstop into either.
Rome, plus three months in Tuscany.
Our full guide covers Rome and Tuscany, including three months our family actually lived there, with real notes on which tours were worth it and what we would skip.
