    The Etruscan Museum in Rome is in the Villa Giulia:

    In Florence just down the street from the Pont du Vecchio is the
    Pitti Palace, has a Silver Museum:

    MUSEO ZOOLOGICO "LA SPECOLA" with incredible anatomical wax work:

    gelato at Vivoli and find the little Gelateria dei Neri (via dei Neri
    20r) near Palazzo Veccchio and Uffizi.) Palazzo Strozzi sometimes has
    a jewlery exhibit and their bookstore has books of previous exhibits. 

    From Florence toward Rome is Arezzo. Has the largest gold jewelry
    factory in Italy and many small factories and jewelry artists.
    Supposed to be over 230 tons of gold used in Arezzo per year. If you
    get to Arezzo first weekend of the month there is an antique market
    that fills the city center:

    at Il Saraceno)
