Places To See

That's a very broad and vague question. It depends on how much time you have, what you enjoy seeing, whether you want a city or beach, your budget and whether you want to travel around or stay in one place. Also what time of year you want to go makes a difference as some places are seasonal?
There are many cities in Italy, what city are you staying? I have some tips for your Italy vacation. Make a plan, it's the best if you take note of your plan. This is a question guide to your plans, what do you want a historical place or a nature ambiance?
Hey wahmed 
Your question does have sense, but it's almost impossible to answer!
Depending on your budget, you could travel around from North to South, Italy is a really big country with lots and lots of wonderful places to see!
I'll try to give you a few tips, but of course, if others have anything better to add, i won't mind at all!
So, will you be travelling by plane or car? Either way, seeing how you're from the UK, Northern Italy is much closer and quicker to arrive to, as opposed to visiting the South. So, if you're on a budget or would like to save money on transport, I think 'landing' in the North is more convenient.
Here, I'd say focus on some of the most important or famous landmarks. For instance. you could travel around from Lake Como to Lake Garda, if you want, or you could travel around from The Adriatic Sea to the North-West part of the country. Basically, you could visit Venice, go along the East coast, visit Rimini since you'll be close by and in the summer it's definitely worth it! Lots of fun to have over there! And then you could travel around and 'end up' in Genoa (and surroundings).
Another option would be to visit central Italy, see Rome, see Florence and definitely see the islands!
Or, you know what's left? The South
I don't really know much about Southern Italy because I've never been, but in any case, whichever part or parts of Italy you choose to visit, make sure you do a quick search (on this very forum or on Google) to find out what landmarks are worth seeing (so you won't miss any!)

Having been there recently, I would really recommend Turin, not a touristy city, but so much to do and see, and while there, you can visit the lovely Langhe hills south of the city, and then further south to Genoa and the Ligurian coast. Alternatively, go north to the alpine Aosta, or east to Milan. the Lakes, Verona and Venice.
In the centre, beyond Florence, it's a good idea to visit some hill towns. Montepulciano in southern Tuscany is my favourite, but there are dozens of others.
I don't know the south well, but I'm told Puglia is a fabulous region if you can stand the heat.

Aswell as the usual tourist attractions I would also like to take in and see the lesser known parts of Italy to sample the real culture of the country.
I seem to find that most cities, especially in europe are very similiar an you only get to see the real country if you venture further afeild.
