The move would see fully-jabbed Brits allowed entry to the country without having to show proof of a negative test from Tuesday (1 March). According to The Independent, it comes as the country prepares to end its Covid-related state of emergency.

However, unvaccinated travellers will still need to show either a negative antigen test taken up to 24 hours prior to departure, or a negative PCR test taken up to 48 hours prior to departure to gain entry.

Last week, Italy’s health minister Roberto Speranza said: "From 1 March, for arrivals from all non-European countries, the same rules will be in force as already provided for European countries.

"One of the conditions of the green pass will be sufficient for entry into Italy: vaccination certificate, recovery certificate or negative test."

The UK’s NHS Covid Pass will be accepted as proof of vaccination, and all travellers over 18 will need to complete Italy’s passenger locator form.
