Hello everyone I have a question and have been looking thoroughly to find an answer but no luck.
I have been in Italy since the 18th of August and plan to fly to Sicily (Palermo) on September 9th from Milan. Throughout these days I been traveling through Italy only. Since Sicily is on yellow zone would I be asked a negative Covid test?
Or when I fly back to Italy which I plan on the 18th of September to Rome will they ask me for a test?
I am American & fully vaccinated with a “letter of recovery from Covid”.
Hope anyone has any insights or information, much appreciated!
My wife and I are traveling to Italy in September for our 25th wedding anniversary. We will be in Rome, Florence, Venice and Milan. I do not want to "stick out" like a tourist. In addition to the obvious - not carrying around a massive backpack and having a camera around my neck at all times, what would you suggest? Are shorts and white tennis shoes still a no-no? Should we wear jeans or comfortable long pants instead? What shoes would you recommend? I have some dress shoes that are very comfortable and would be happy to walk all over Italy with them.
Thanks in advance!!
Hello,
I am a fully vaccinated American, I arrived in Milan from the US on August 31, and have been in Italy since.
I am traveling to Sardinia (via plane) on September 4. When I booked these flights, I was aware that all I needed to show was my equivalent of the Green Pass. However, now, there are new regulations for vaccinated Americans needing to show a recent negative tests if they have been in the US within the past 14 days. I know this applies to Americans entering Italy from overseas, but does it apply to Americans who have only been in Italy for less than 14 days?
I know I do not need to fill out a new passenger locator form, but I am confused about the test.
I can't seem to find that information anywhere.
If anyone has any information on this, it would be much appreciated!

I won't be travelling for about a year, but I am already excited and thinking about a solo trip back to Italy. Ideally, I would like to start my vacation relaxing in the Tuscan or Umbria countryside. I am thinking outside of either Lucca or Cortona or anywhere in between. (I'm not fussy, I love the Italian countryside and am just looking for peace, hills and beauty so I know that could be anywhere!) And I would like to do this mainly by train, and without driving myself (I don't want to rent a car). So my initial question then is.... if I fly into Italy, take a train to the nearest small town to where I would be staying, is it expensive to get a taxi to drive maybe 20km or so to a location outside of that small town. Also, any recommendations on what small town country side I should focused on? I know it's not much to go on, but any advice would be appreciated!
We used Synlab for our PCR Covid-19 test in Italy. Can highly recommend Synlab.
We had our test done at 10am in the morning, and received our test results at 7pm the same day. We booked our test appointments 2 days ahead at a location near a larger city. Each test cost us 60 EUR, which was 50 EUR for the test plus 10 EUR for an English translation of the test results. We used the website locate.synlab.it to identify Synlab's lab locations.
The most cumbersome part was booking the appointments. To book the appointments, we used Synlab's iOS app. It worked, but it took a couple of tries till we got the accounts set up correctly, so we could book the appointments. At the test site, we received instructions on how to access our test results from a dedicated website. We downloaded the results as PDF documents from that dedicated site, and saved the PDFs on our phones.
Synlab's iOS app showed all open test spots. The website showed many of the locations to be fully booked, which they were not. The lab experience and speed was excellent. The iOS app and website experience was ok, once one knows how to navigate it.
This was August 2021. Hope this helps someone.
Lots of questions out there, particularly from US resident tourists. Hopefully these websites help.

Can you complete the form at any time before travelling to Italy from UK?
I know the UK form to return has to be done in the 48 hours before you come home but I cant see a time limit for the EU one going out.
Thanks for your help.
Hoping somebody can guide me to where I can find out if our 10yo will need to quarantine on arrival in Rome at the end of September/beginning of October. As the trip is only for 5 days in Rome a 5 day quarantine would mean we should reschedule.
I can't find clear guidance on this on any of the Italian government web pages. Except for our 10yo all of us are vaccinated and will be antigen tested prior to our flights. We will fill out the locator form as required. Just want to be sure we have the opportunity to explore while there and not quarantine confined.
