Any recommendations for lodging (youth hostels and/or regular hotels) in the cities of Milan and Florence? I don't want to pay more than 70 euros per night. Thanks.

The two biggest things are the Duomo and Last Supper. Apart from that, there's the Castello Sforzesca and not alot else. Unless you're a fashion model or want to see some opera at La Scala, Milan is mostly a big, industrial city. I think I'd rather spend the time in Siena or some other cool little small town in Tuscany like Montalcino, Lucca, etc.

You forgot the Brera, not the best museum in Italy but certainly in the top ten, and worth a visit for Mantegna's Dead Christ alone.

Is that the foreshortened Christ? If so, I thought that was in the Uffizi.
