On February 3, 4 or 5 go to a town called Ivrea, at the base of the Aosta Valley and see Carnevale – three extraordinary days of an all-out orange battle. Voilent, beautiful, amazing... I'll be there.

i have also done study abroad in italy for 4month. we traveled through out 4months starting from Milan to the final destination, Capri. We had to attend seminars in Venice and also in Rome for a month. Other than that, we were off to the new town like every 3-6days. There was just too much to see in Italy as an architecture student.
speaking of which, i need to scan the negatives from that trip before they go bad.

hey Coldice, you can select your own itinerary. Not sure how this can report to a full travel-plan but there's a lot to see all over:

I lived in Verona for three years. Wonderful town if you can go. Not too far from Vicenza. Expecially in the part of town where the arena is. Great markets, food, etc.

Well.. depends what you are after.
- First of all... since you're in vicenza don't miss Venice and Padova. You can go on Venice for the Carnevale, i think is something priceless.And since you're in veneto and you're an architect there's some Palladio Villas around there. (towards Treviso / Padova). Can't remember exactly where but would be easy to find them
- On april or anyway around Easter in Milano there is the "salone del mobile" with the related fuorisalone. Really nice and funny.
And lot of free booze.
While in milano, pay a visit to the Triennale, and to the New Exibition place by Fuksas.Then well, Rome and Florence for sure, some day in Rimini and /or Bologna (maybe a weekend).
And if you got time southern Italy. From Vicenza you can easily reach Vienna, Budapest and the Germany. From Treviso airport you'll find ryaniar flights for London and maybe Paris (i'm not sure)And if you're in the mood for skiing, the alps are really there. Maybe avoid Cortina which is sooo expensive, but is plenty of good locations there.
