I'm in Venice right now and while there are many tourists (this city survives entirely on tourism) it's far from overwhelmed. We haven't waited in any lines in Italy as a whole -- the only real line we encountered was at the Colosseum, and that took about 20 minutes.
There are certainly places that are less busy but I wouldn't outright discourage anyone from traveling to the popular places. It's not that difficult to avoid the crowds and there are tons of things worth seeing.

Go back when schools get out in North America, Europe, and Asia, then let us know how it compares. Try it again when Europe is on Holiday in August. I went in May when schools were getting out and I could tell the difference by the end of the week. Make appointments to the popular places to avoid the lines.
- edaemon 8y agoThere's absolutely a high season for tourists. That's what I was referring to when I said it's not that difficult to avoid the crowds; all we did was go during the off-season.
