Snowfall is common in mountainous locations, and temperatures range between 1 degree Celsius and 7 degrees Celsius in northern regions, such as Milan and the Alps. Winter temperatures in central Italy, which includes cities like Rome and Florence, are milder, averaging between 4 degrees Celsius and 10 degrees Celsius. Although there may still be rainy days, the highest winter temperatures are found in southern Italy, which includes Naples and Sicily.
