What time of year is best to go to these places?

You'll never completely escape crowds in either city. The best trade-off between crowds and weather here (I live in Italy) is either before tourist season gets into full swing (May- the first half of June) or after the end of the season (September-Oct).

However, there are lots of interesting things to see and do throughout the year and some can only be experienced at particular times. For example, the Eurochocolate Festival in Perugia is a huge event toward the end of October or there's a very good truffle festival in the small Tuscan hill town San Miniato over three weekends in November. Carnevale is for the most part celebrated in the winter - February next year.

What are the best non-tourist things to do? i love water and tipical food (food of the natives). Any day trip recommendations? Is it enough time to visit Rome? If so, what are best non-tourist things to do in Rome. Or should i visit another city instead? help! :)

Finally, any hostel recommendations in Venice or Rome?

First of all, italy in july is very hot, so bring with you t-shirts and shorts.

Day trip recommended while in rome is tivoli, with the roman villas (villa adriana and villa d'este). http://www.tibursuperbum.it/eng/monumenti/index.htm

In venice a day-trip recommended is to murano, where there are the glass factories.

While in rome you must:
1) eat a croissant after midnight (there are some "cornetterie" that open late in the night. The best one is in Via Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli, 63.

2) Go to milvio bridge, where the lovers where lovers chain their “lock of love” to the bridge http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3345/3314271174_5716f7699f.jpg?v=0

3) Make a cruise on the tevere river http://www.battellidiroma.it/index_en.asp

4) climb the s. peter's cupola and look at rome from the sky

5) eat the tipical roman food in the restaurant la cisterna, in trastevere zone http://www.lacisterna.com/
