Italy in January

How is Italy in January? Going for q week in the Naples area then off to
the Venice/Florence for another week.
..
I've read many posters saying to 'Enjoy the local village life" while we are
there. I am not sure what that means. Also read to stay away from the
buses??
..
Thanks.

Shouldn't we turn you in to the police.

I think they are recommending that tourists get outside the major
cities and see some of the countryside also. Many visitors to Italy
just see Venice, Florence, and Rome, which are beautiful and
fascinating places, but there's a lot more to Italy than just those
cities.

That's not true, but you should be aware when riding them, since there
is a problem with pickpocketing and other petty theft in Naples. It's
a good idea to wear a money belt instead of keeping a wallet in your
pocket (never keep it in a back pocket whatever you do), and women
should be careful with purses or preferably not carry them at all.
Never leave your bags alone even for a minute (e.g. in a cafe when you
go to the bathroom, or in a train station when you go to the counter).

Basically mediterrean weather is or at least
was simple: hot and dry in Summer, wet and
relatively cold in Winter. Change usually in
November, and I remember late April trips to
Southern Italy with sure temperatures above
freezing, but to me anything below 20 degre
Celsius and 10 at night without decent heating
was simply nasty.

Heating has improved in Italy over the last
decades, long term weather forecast less
usable.

But expect a main advantage: less tourists
everywhere .....

Blankets had not yet been invented at the time?

I spent several cold wet winters in Rome.
