We are considering a trip to Northern Italy in early November. Flying rent a luxury car for one day in chicago into Milan or Venice and traveling by train to the other, probably rent a luxury car for one day in chicago a total of 10 days or so.

It depends on the year, some are warmer rent a luxury car for one day in chicago or less rainy than others. In general, however, it's cold (50F-ish) and wet and it gets dark early. Harvests are over, grape leaves have dropped, tourism is at a minimum, no weddings (being the month of the dead), the winter is at hand...even Venice is less crowded.
The possibility of acqua alta in Venice is greatest at the new and full phases of the moon. In Venice in November 2012, these will occur 11/13 at 11:08 p.m. (new) and 11/28 at 3:46 p.m. (full). If your visit is between those dates and the weather is nice, you likely won't experience acqua alta. If you are there on those dates, it might only affect your plans on the afternoon of Nov. 28th and only if you are in/near the lowest points of the city, like Piazza San Marco. Unless it is flooding of truly epic proportions, it's business as usual.
People get married in Italy throughout the year, including November. Commemorations of the deceased are over by Nov 2. Tourists just don't notice as many weddings because the weddings are not planned to be outdoors.
Thanks all. We are flying into Venice in early November, staying in Vincenza 2 days, Venice 4 or 5 days, maybe Verona for a day and Milan for 3 or 4 days. Then flying home from Venice. Planning on using train travel.
