I'm American, been around Italy a few times. It's definitely my favorite country I've visited, you get such great variety. Rome is good if you want history (but I honestly wasn't there for long enough to judge much about it). I took a trip to the top of Mount Vesuvius, one of the best views on the planet (pic related).
The Amalfi Coast is breathtaking. I've been to Sorrento and Capri. Sorrento is a cliffside city...I spent hours sitting on the roof of my hotel watching the sunset and enjoying the fresh night air, having some drinks. It's very therapeutic.
Florence has some great history too, and the marketplace is great for all of your shopping needs. You'll find some great deals there, especially on Italian leather (learn how to tell fake leather and genuine leather apart before you go).
Assisi is a nice small town high above the plains below. They have some fantastic views of Umbria and some great small local restaurants.
Genoa is probably the best place to get a sense of the culture. Unlike every other place I've been where most people spoke English, this isn't a normal tourist spot, and most people barely speak English at all. There's plenty to explore around here. There aren't many tourist spots here, but you'll get a sense of what it's like to be an Italian citizen. And Jesus Christ in Heaven are the women hot in Genoa.
