Free advice is usually worth what you pay for it, but here is some that may save you misery. Before I leave I take a photo of the contents of my suitcase. In case of it being lost or stolen I have some idea of what was there and can show it. The second reason is that it reminds me that if it looks as full as the one above, I will have to carry it on and off taxis and trains and buses for maybe a 1000 miles. Do I need all that stuff? If I am on my way to the heart of Africa, could be, but Italy is not a third world country and has stores on nearly every counter. The only thing I was ever sorry I did not bring was Tylenol which is way more expensive in Italy. Travel light! Carry a copy of your passport in your suitcase. And, finally, travel light. When done, go back and see what more you can leave behind.
