What to pack for two weeks in Italy

We spent two weeks in Italy in May, travelling between cities like Rome, Milan, and Venice and exploring more laid-back areas like Lake Garda and Capri. We were also travelling by train, and visiting places that involved a lot of walking, like Pompeii. Packing for two weeks covering different destinations and uncertain weather meant bringing more than I needed – but it was worth it. We did have a few rainy days in between the sun and long train journeys meant comfy options were essential. 

This is what I packed for two weeks in Italy.
