We translated the most common tourist activities from the government’s super green pass chart into English so you can see which require a super green pass.

Despite the rule change in April, 2022, you will need a Super Green Pass to:

• Attend shows/movie theaters
• Attend sporting events
• Attend parties (including wedding receptions) and nightclubs
• Attend public events including trade fairs, festivals, etc. 
• Use gyms and indoor sporting facilities – even in a hotel you are staying in

You still need a Green Pass (but not a ‘super’ boosted one):

• Take public transport including trains
• Visit museums and cultural/archaeological sites
• Drink a coffee standing at the bar
• Eat and drink inside a restaurant

Without any kind of pass you can now:

• Eat and drink outdoors
• Go to a hairdressers, beauty salons, barbers
• Go inside banks, post offices, public offices

If you are only visiting Italy you do not need a Green Pass.

If you are not an EU resident but are resident of a country on the Italian government’s “List D” you can use your official government vaccine certificate instead of a Super Green Pass, provide the last dose was within 9 months of today’s date (or 6 months after Feb 1, 2022).

As long as you have an official vaccination certificate for an EU-approved vaccine then your official government vaccination certificate should be accepted instead – provided you back it up with official photo ID (passport, driver’s license, etc.).

This was confirmed in a ministerial decree issued by Roberto Speranza, minister of Health, on July 29th. Here is the relevant page on the Department of Health website in English and Italian. The ordinance is called Ordinanza 20 luglio – Ministero della Salute, and the text can be downloaded as a PDF here. The relevant paragraph is Article 7.

Some countries have also integrated their country’s certification system with that of the EU – this means that for example UK residents with a valid QR code issued by the NHS for vaccinations carried out in the UK will also be valid in the EU’s system. If you want to test this out you can download the VerificaC19 app to see if your code will be approved in Italy.
