Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon is historical fiction set in Syracuse, Sicily. Not sure if it’s in your itinerary but it’s based on a true story about athenian prisoners who were captured and held in a quarry there, kind of a dark comedy.
The Neopolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante is also a classic series set in a neighborhood in Naples!
