Easter travels

Travelling to Italy this Easter?
This is a school holiday in Italy and so many Italian families use this holiday to go to the mountains and seaside. But, many tourists flood major cities like Florence and Venice. If you are travelling there today be prepared to sleep in the traffic if you are driving and crowded trains.
It would be nice if you can organise to stay in smaller towns during this period. For example staying in Forli and visiting places around by train. Can go to Florence in a day by train and back at the same time you are 20 minutes away from the seaside. And there is so much to see around.
