14 days isn`t a ton of time to fit everything in.

Up in the Venice/Milan direction you start to get into some beautiful lake areas with natural springs and such.

You can spend an eternity in Rome, but at that time of the year it will be sweltering, but on the plus side, it could be less busy.

This is probably short sighted of me but I don`t really care that much about the renaissance, so I skipped Florence. I figured aside from the renaissance, I could get much of the same from Rome.

As the old saying goes, if you try to see too much, you may end up seeing nothing at all.

All I can really recommend is Cinque Terre and Rome. However someone who has actually been in Rome in august may have a better perspective.
This is all great advice.
