TOUR BUS OR CONTACT A TRAVEL AGENT
Agree with the first answer, do a tour through Insight vacations etc, or travel by train
=)
The best, and for me really the only, way to travel is by train. However this depends on distance, as from Milan to Rome can be quite long (remember, Italy is a long thin country). There are cheaper flights from Rome to Milan you can check out, but if you have time, you can also take a train to Milano. Eurostar trains are faster but are more expensive, and I would avoid renting a car, as not only is driving a bit crazy in Italy, but parking is very hard. Almost everyone uses the train system, it easy and takes you to the center of the cities you want to see.

In 4 people with luggage I guess you’ve no alternatives.
I would go by a rented car. Bus and train could be ok and convenient for max.2 persons but for 4 persons the cost of the tickets would be ugly higher than travelling by car.
Main towns are well connected by motorways and if you take care of avoiding to travel in the earliest or latest hours of the week-ends (and obviously end July/early August, when all the Italy is moving for holidays) you’ll have no particular problems.
Try to avoid arriving in any city in the middle of the day,when they will be crowded for the traffic. If you travel early morning or late evening you’ll limit a lot objective difficulties to cross unknown towns. When you are at destination park yr car there and visit that town by using public transports (not taxis as in Italy they’re crazily expensive). Don’t try to use the car to visit the town as the traffic would drive you crazy and also you’ll never find where to park. Use the car just to move from one city to another one or in the neighbors of the towns but avoid the centre of all Italian cities.
when i was in italy, i travelled pretty much either by train or bus. i liked the train because its relatively cheap, safe, and fast.
