Well just got back home today from our Italy trip.
The good news is I loved Italy! Great people, great food and lots of things to do and see.

The bad news is I was unable to make it to any hat shops due to the itinerary pacing. We did visit the Spanish steps while in Rome, but did not find the hat shops suggested (to be fair I was pressed for time).

The worse news is that I left my everyday early '60s Stetson Royal in the hotel in Florence, It was hanging behind the door and by the time I realized I was bare headed, we were already on the shuttle headed to the train station. Called twice from the next city but no one found it. Not my best hat but it was one of my goto's for daily use. It will be missed.

Thanks for all the suggestions and comments. They were appreciated.

I'll be there in June - will keep an eye out for your hat!

Hopefully someone there is at least wearing it well.

Enjoy your trip. Italy is a great place.

Italy isn't big for vintage hats shops and even new hat shops are far and few between

you are very correct, but I may stay longer in a single city if I go again so we'll see

Italy is full of charming spots for vintage shopping, and you’ll likely stumble upon some hidden gems in those cities. In Rome, head to Cappelleria Pieroni near Campo de' Fiori—it's been around since the early 1900s and is known for classic Italian hat craftsmanship.
