I'm in Italy now, came in late November. Before that I made trips here in October and June. My experiences are both different and similar to what has been written by others above. --related travel rules are changing all the time.
Regarding the personal locator form (PLF), that is an EU requirement (not Italian) and it is a royal PITA
each with independent and changing procedures and limitations currently, and I'm hoping this stuff calms down at some point. Also that my motorcycle will still be there and intact when I return.
Do you have an Italian digital Green Pass for entry into public buildings, restaurants etc or is your CDC vaccination card still being accepted? That would be very interesting to know for any Americans inbound to Italy.
I do not have a Green Pass. So far, I have been able to just show my two CDC cards (one for the initial dose and one for the booster-- I had Johnson so just two doses--- so far....). BUT (1) we live in a very rural, off the beaten path, place and they have only started checking for Green Passes recently. (2) we rarely (almost never) attempt to remain inside (indoors) anywhere longer than just ordering our food/drink and then take it outside. You are allowed (apparently) to enter and order without showing a Green Pass. (3) There are hardly any Americans in the surrounding area, so no one is really familiar with the CDC cards and they just shrug when I show them and then turn to reading my wife's QR code (from her French Green Pass) with their tablets. (4) All this could change and I suspect that if you are trying to go to the more heavily populated (in terms of tourists) places, that it will involve more red tape.
Are you in Italy for work or leisure?
Rome, Florence and Venice……nothing much to see in those towns, head to Mandello, nice little motorcycle museum there, one could spend days admiring some fine Italian engineering, if you get bored Ducati and Ferrari aren’t too far away, then you will have seen all of Italy 😉
You need a Green Pass for restaurants and trains, so you really need to nail that down before you arrive or you may be stuck in Italian bureaucracy (which is the centre circle of hell).
The other thing to remember is that you may have requirements on the way home, beyond a Green Pass. Depending on the country you are transiting through or going to, you may also need to have a very recent test before being able to board a plane or on arrival at customs.This is not consistent by country, and nearly wrecked our trip to Canada last year, when it turned out the Canadians had a different test requirement that the British (we transited through London). Fortunately the airline agents didn't know the difference between PCR and RAT tests either, so we were able to get to Canada, and were able to deal with it there by taking another test.Pain in the ass, but such is the world of travel today. Ever-changing requirements, which are never clear to anyone.If you need to take a - test before your return flight, you should find a testing center with enough advance notice for they type of test you will need.
