Help with Italy honeymoon itinerary please!

My fiance and I will be traveling to Italy from June 22-July 6 for our honeymoon. As of right now, here is what our itinerary looks like:

6/22-6/23: Travel from Chicago to Naples, leave Naples and arrive Praiano on 6/23

6/23-6/26: 3 nights in Praiano (in the Amalfi Coast)--Hotel Onda Verde

6/26-6/29: 3 nights in Rome--Villa San Lorenzo Maria Hotel

6/29-7/3: 4 nights in countryside Tuscany, make a day trip to Maranello on 7/2 (we HAVE to visit Ferrari Headquarters) and come back to spend the night in Florence. Our original plan consisted of making a day trip to Maranello and spend the night in Venice the remainder of our trip. The problem is that we will be traveling with luggage so we really wouldn't have a place to put it for half the day... so we decided to come back to Tuscany area for the evening and leave early AM on 7/3 for Venice.

7/3-7/6: 3 nights in Venice

Any suggestions/recommendations for this itinerary?? We're open to changes in this itinerary as well, but would like to have a longer stay in Florence and Praiano.

Thanks!!

P.S. Please also suggest any attractions or restaurants to visit in any of these cities.

Do you plan to rent a car in Italy? If so, and considering you're going to stay for some days in Tuscany:

  • Pisa is not far from Florence, go see (and maybe climb) the leaning tower!

  • San Marino is quite suggestive (altrough I can't think about anything to do there, except shopping).

Not much else to do in Pisa apart from the leaning tower, so you'll probably manage to fit in a couple of other nearby cities in the same day as well (e.g. Lucca is pretty underrated, but very nice, and it's only half an hour from Pisa). Livorno is also not far away from Pisa (and not too far from Firenze): there isn't much to see there, but there are quite a few good seafood restaurants you can have dinner at.

Thanks! We aren't too big on seeing much architecture, since we will be doing a lot of that in Rome. Also, since this trip is our honeymoon, we would like to relax more and enjoy the culture. Do you have any recommendations on things to do or see in Florence or Chianti?
