Travel Italia! All things all Italy!

Anyone still planning on going this summer? We postponed our yearly trip to the end of August
I'm not even going this December. I've traveled too much to see what can happen when things go downhill.
Are you from US? So far tourists from US (and other countries like Brazil) are not allowed to enter EU, so keep an eye in restrictions in the coming weeks
I am but we are EU citizens with a home in italy. Consulate said we can still go as long as we quarantine for two weeks. We have to go for upkeep of the house.

I'm traveling to Northern Italy and Southern France in June/July (covid-willing), and am curious how people are feeling about summer travel with vaccines, but still recurring waves of covid.

We have been to Bergamo in Northern Italy around All Saints Day in 2021.
Bergamo had been famous - or infamous - for many covid victims some months before.
But now everything was back to normal.
Oh, I love Bergamo!
We "discovered" it by chance on our way from Lago di Garda to Milano, when driving past on the freeway, and you only see the old town on the hills - I was so amazed at how much Bergamo has to offer and how big it is. I then spent a long weekend there - if I have to go underground, you can find me in Bergamo

I visited everything on your list - except for Amalfi and Capri - last summer and it was lovely... next on my list are Amalfi and Capri, hope to get there next year

Good luck with your planes!
I've enjoyed reading through this tread to get ideas for my upcoming trip to Tuscany the last two weeks of October! We are arriving in Rome and spending one night before renting a car and heading north. We would like to spend one night in a smaller town or Agriturismo before heading to Florence for 3 nights. I see there are a bunch of chestnut and other fall festivals around this time. Are there any you would recommend? Most festivals haven't posted their dates yet but I'm crossing my fingers for the Monte Amiata region for Oct. 21/22nd.
I would also love recommendations for wineries with lodging and other places to visit. We are going to Lucca, Siena, and Montepulciano but haven't made hotel reservations yet.
