This page is dedicated to the current COVID-19 situation and vaccination campaign in Italy, with a particular focus on destinations in the Bay of Naples and on the Amalfi Coast. Though we try to summarize to the best of our knowledge, it's not always easy to stay abreast of the changing situation. Please see the official government links below.
