I am not sure where you got this info. As a British expat living in Italy, I am not aware of this! 

I was referencing the link that the mice gave in post #27. It was about Spain, but at the top of that article was a link regarding Italy. I clicked and read it and found that info under Italy’s phase 3.  I also said IF that comes to pass that would be significant.

Conte announced steps to reopen Italy today.  Hotels, Bars and Restaurants to open on June 1st.

While opening a bit to residents is good it's still very restrictive. Italy won't be opening for any tourism until the end of the year. 

 

Italy to remain closed to tourism

You are right that it is not yet the reopening of tourism. The European countries are being cautious on this and Germany is asking other European countries to have a common agreement on when the boarders should open again for tourism.

I think he said that was the intention. It is not guaranteed that this will happen!

Ivi, it will take some time. I'm not even sure when the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office will lift their advice against non essential international travel. I guess we will have more idea when an exit strategy for the crisis is discussed.  But I think travel will be curtailed for some time. Depressing, but necessary.

It seems that EU countries will open in May/June but visitors from Great Britain are excluded.   You will be welcomed in Greece.

I’d be interested to know where you got this information?

Can you post a link to the article please? 

[excitedofharpenden]

I have no intention of trawling the internet. What is the significance of Britain?  I think your information source needs changing.

Probably Fake News, I am sure it would have been more widely published if true.
