Starting from June 1, 2022, travelers to Italy will no longer be required to show the Green pass (i.e. Anti-COVID 19 vaccination certificate or recovery certificate, or a negative swab test) to enter Italy and are not subject to quarantine upon arrival to Italy if they do not possess the Green pass.

There are different ride sharing apps available around Italy. I've outlined some on the travel page.
We are arriving in Ravello on Thursday, Sept 8th and staying at Palazzo Avino. We will be heading to our Honeymoon in Mallorca on Friday, Sept 10th.
Yes but if you do not have a driver's license issued by an EU country, you will need an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your driver's license to rent a car in Italy. Additionally, during peak hours in the summer, cars traveling on the busiest part of S.S. 163 (the stretch of Amalfi coastline between Positano and Vietri sul Mare) will be subject to an alternate license plate system. On even-numbered days, cars with plates ending in an even number are prohibited from accessing the road, while on odd-numbered days, cars ending in an odd number will be banned.
Matt and Erin will be getting COVID travel insurance through AXA, it's not required but worth looking into to see if it's a good option for your trip.
UPDATE: There is a heat wave in Italy (and much of Europe) with temperatures rising to as high as 100 degrees -- be prepared! September in Ravello is a moderately hot month, with average temperature fluctuating between 75.2°F and 60.8°F.
As a general rule, tips aren’t automatically given like they are in the United States and aren’t included in the bill. IF YOU CHOOSE TO TIP: Tip with cash, not a credit card and leaving a €1 and €2 coins is more than enough.
Check with your phone provider ahead of you trip there are many affordable plan options.
Italy offers wifi in most places, but the free wifi is not always quick or suitable for social media or video calls. Hotels and Airbnbs are the safest place to guarantee free internet. Some restaurants and cafes have free wifi that is good, but probably not as fast as what you are used to at home.
