Backpacking through Italy on a student budget, can anyone recommend cultural places to stay cheap?
Places between Rome and Florence would be amazing since I'm planning on stopping a lot through there, but anywhere in Italy you say would helpful since I'm starting in Sicily and going up to around Venice. Thanks.

Siena, San Gimignano, San Miniato and other small towns are gorgeous, you should really spend some time there. I would make stops in Toscana (Tuscany) rather than in Lazio...I'd visit just Rome in this region and then I'd head north, to Toscana (where Firenze is). If you want to keep costs low, you should try to look for some hostels on hostelworld.com, which is always really helpful. Go to Lucca if you have the chance, it's a small lovely city quite near Firenze. After Toscana, you might want to visit Bologna and Ferrara in Emilia-Romagna and finally Venice. On average, these places shouldn't be too expensive...it's up to you to try and find some cheap hostels, cafés and restaurants!
