Hi, according to my research the climate in Italy varies depending on which part of Italy. North of Italy the climate is more unpleasant; with freeing & dry winters, & scorching hot/humid summers. Moving to central Italy climate is more in the middle with not as harsh winters & summers. Also central Itally has a shorter duration for winter but the summers are longer. As for the southern portion of Italy seasons are fair, winter is never bad, & spring and autumn are the same as the summer temperatures in the central regions. Let me know if you need me to explain more. Hope this helped :)
