It has simplified the travel rules for those who arrive in Italy from the EU or Schengen zones.
Arrivals must show proof of vaccination, recovery, or a negative COVID-19 testing. A negative lateral flow test can be taken within 24 hours of arrival, or a PCR test within 48 hours. Home test kits are not permitted and must be done by a licensed provider.

Passengers flying to and from Italy must wear an FFP2 mask while onboard.
All rules will be reviewed by the government again on 15 March 2022.
