Rome and Milan
Buongiorno,
That is one long drive - you could train it (three hours each way) but it can be a bit costly. You could look at this private tour which would help you get the most out of your time there.
I definitely encourage you to get out and explore - but from Milan anything is going to take a bit of driving, there is just no way around it and it is all on the main highways (so not really panoramic)
You can also look at doing a train trip to Florence and exploring the city of Florence - that is a short trip and not as costly as Rome. This is easily done on your own, and I am sure you would love a day exploring the area. However you can also look into having a private tour to Florence as well.
Buon Viaggio,
Donna Denise

Using Milan as your base, I would do day trips closer to there..... so Lake Como and Lake Maggiore would be at the top of my list ;-) Lots of people also really enjoy Turin, although I'll admit I have yet to go so can't recommend anything specific from personal experience. I have been to Lake Maggiore and to Stresa, which is lovely in the summer!
