So far the very tentative plan is:
Rome about 5 days
Pompeii/Herculaneum overnighting in Sorrento
Florence
Siena
Lucca, Pisa
Cinque Terre
maybe Assisi
Cavita
Last few days in Paris

We're going for up to 3 weeks total. We've done Venice already. All of course very tentative at this stage so suggested hidden gems are appreciated.
There are many interesting sights near Assissi.
I would keep Pisa to a minimum, half day at the most. Just my opinion.
I could show you a book/pics of Orvieto, bet you'll want to see it.

5 days is great for Rome, you can do well in 3 days but you will be pressed for time.

Are you museum goers? If so, make sure you book ahead for the Uffizi, Bargello academia in Florence. really nice if you can be the first group in the Uffizi when it opens.
When hitting the highpoints of Florence (museums, Duomo, etc.) do not forget the Pallazo Vecchio and Santa Croce (Tombs are amazing)

Cinque terre is simply stunning. Hope you do the hike.
