Background Notes: Italy
Travel

<body>
<p> Clothing: Woolens and sweaters are practical most of the
year; cottons are recommended for the hot summers.
</p>
<p> Currency: Nonresidents can only leave the country with 1
million lire and 5 million lire worth of other currencies.
Larger amounts may be exported as long as they have been
declared upon entering the country.
</p>
<p> Health: Medical facilities are available in cities. No
special immunizations are necessary. Tapwater is safe. Meat,
fruit, vegetables, and shellfish should be well prepared.
</p>
<p> Telecommunications: Telephone and telegraph connections
within Italy and to international points are good. Rome is six
standard time zones ahead of eastern standard time.
</p>
<p> Transportation: Many major international airlines have
service to Rome and Milan. There is daily jet service to the
United States. Public transportation is modern, efficient, and
reasonably priced. Metered taxis are inexpensive and usually
available at stands. Avoid unmetered taxis.
</p>
<p> No Italian visa is required of American citizens visiting
Italy temporarily for tourism or business trips. Persons
planning to travel in Italy for work or other purposes should
inquire about their visa status in advance at an Italian Embassy
or consulate before traveling to Italy.
