I use these services regularly.

From the US.

There are no direct flights into Florence, Bologna or Pisa from the US, hubs for flight changes are usually Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London or Munich.

Direct flights are available from SFO to Milan.

Direct flights are available from New York to Rome & Milan.

If changing in London, check out the local air links from London to Florence, Bologna & Pisa on Ryanair or Go as mentioned above. The growth in low cost airlines within Europe has resulted in some ridiculously low airfares.
