Went to Italy in Nov of 06. Pisa was interesting, but it's not worth a ton of time. The leaning tower is a fun attraction, especially now since you can go to the top of it again, and the rest of that "square" is cool, but outside of that not much in the city.
In Milan, do NOT miss the Duomo. Possibly the most incredible place I've seen in all of my Europe travels. Allow at least 2+ hours inside to do a quick once over....4+ hours to really look at stuff and take it all in.

Hope you have a great time. Currently spending 3 weeks in Scandinavia. It has rained most of the time, but that is througout northern Europe. Make sure you take time to wander the smaller streets of Paris, they are wonderful neighborhoods to get lost in. Be safe!
