GOOD NEWS:
Italy has dropped its pre-arrival testing requirement for vaccinated travelers, becoming the latest European country to ease entry protocols.
The new rules, which went into effect on March 1, allow international travelers to enter the country by simply showing they have been fully vaccinated within nine months or received a booster shot, according to the National Tourist Board. Alternatively, unvaccinated travelers can show they have either recovered from COVID-19 within six months, or choose to enter with proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test taken within 72 hours of their trip and Unvaccinated travelers can also show proof of a negative rapid test taken within 48 hours of their trip.

OUR ADVICE TO ITALY BOUND TRAVELERS:
Book now as 2022 appears to be a very busy year for travel in Italy. - For those wishing to head to the Costiera Amalfitana do not delay as most approachable price points sell out quickly. Plan at least 6 months in advance to obtain your first choice hotel and room.
