The weather in Italy during Fall and Springtime can be very significant day by day and from city to city. This doesn't mean you need to pack multiple suitcases rather pack things which can be used for multi purposes such as: light rain jacket, maybe a scarf or two, a shawl, water resistant shoes, a small umbrella to have handy, hat, sunscreen, sunglasses, layers (especially if you are going to travel to the mountains) and finally and most importantly pack church appropriate clothing. If you want to enter Italy's churches and cathedrals; you will not be allowed to enter if you are wearing dresses or tops with cleavage, tank tops or even shorts, torn jeans or pants with holes, mini skirts.
Lets focus on what not to pack or maybe consider packing if you plan to visit Italy in Fall or Spring. No one wants to over pack therefore there are two things that are unnecessary to pack: Swimsuits and gloves and hats.
Fall and Spring are considered shoulder Seasons, therefore the temperatures especially in Springtime tend get warmer and most likely the beaches will open, but in the other hand this might not happen. But in the event it does, you wouldn't want to miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a day at the beach. In this case tossing your swimsuit into your suitcase isn't such a bad idea as it wouldn't take up much space. But again it all depends on when you plan on travelling to Italy, if it's early Spring then you shouldn't bother with the swimsuit but if your plans for travelling to Italy are in late Spring then by all means pack your swimsuit. Another aspect that you might want to consider is exactly where are you going to be traveling in Italy? Some regions tend to be warmer than others therefore it's always wise to stay updated with local weather.
