Bringing a pet to Italy: import rules

Italy's pet relocation traffic flows mostly through Milan and Rome, with smaller pockets in Florence, Naples, and Turin. The EU pet travel scheme is the framework, microchip, rabies vaccination, EU health certificate, and titer test for rabies-controlled origins. Arrivals at Malpensa and Fiumicino are well-handled when sequenced through experienced local partners.
