The old town is so quaint. It’s a day tour destination so if you can, stay overnight, and enjoy it without the bus loads. Pisa I’d say is a let down. It’s the tower and duomo and not much else. Florence would take a day and Como/Garda would be a day just because of the ferries between the various towns. We had one of our most memorable meals in Olcio.
Other than Pisa I’d say all of these are places for slower travel. Milan you could run and gun because it’s just a big city in my books. The other places have more to see and more to offer at a slower pace.

Barcelona is after the 4 days in Italy.
Our objective in going to Italy is that we've never been to Europe other than London and Paris. So we're tacking on a small side trip for a few days before meeting up with friends in Barcelona (reason for trip). Objective in Italy is to see the most variety of scenery and architectural styles. My wife and I travel in a way where we can really appreciate the details, but we wouldn't sit down for a long time to soak in the minutae if that makes sense.
