Experiencing Italy while avoiding museum overdose - how to do it?

I am planning a trip to Italy with a family member that will include Rome, Sorrento, Naples, Florence.

I know there are so many incredible museums, art galleries, and cathedrals to see, and we plan to hit the major ones, but we're really more interested in experiencing the Italian culture.

Do you have any recommendations on what we should do?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Look for local festivals near where you'll be - it makes a nice break from the museums/churches/galleries and you'll get a better feel for the traditions and actual life in Italy. An added advantage is great food. Some of the most interesting are in the smaller towns.

There are several sites that list events by type of event, month, location:
