Repleo. You have provided a terrific overview and advice. I have been to most of those places, as well, and agree with your assessment totally. I would add that of the walkway and scenic point that you and Nunyaman mentioned, goes from Manarola to Corniglia on the ocean side. You can walk to Corniglia and take the train back or just walk at least to the suspension bridge and walk back to Manarola (preferred?). Many great scenic and plant shots.
Nunyaman, I would skip the tripod and consider bringing only the 24-70mm, 15mm and 70-200mm. You could keep the 70-200 on the 80D with an FFE of 112-320mm, it will be plenty long enough. Then I'd switch between the 15mm (interior and some scenic) and the 24-70mm for over 1/2 of the shots. By the way, I took several shots from the Manarola scenic point using 35-60mm FFE.
For a 21 day trip that I took to Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome, Radda, Cinque Terra, San Margarita/Lake Coma). I took 1897 keepers and of those: 526 were @ 24-34mm, 232 @ 35-49mm, 222 @ 50-74mm, 422 @ 75-105mm, 495 @ > 105mm.

Thanks. Maybe the weather will cooperate because we love to hike. good advice but I will most likely carry the tripod for night shots. I have been to Rome a few times and we just wanted to get out for a bit even though this is not the perfect time of year. The crowds shouldn't be bad though. I wasn't sure how far away the scenic point was hence the questions. I appreciate your response
