Check a trip against the risks that regularly disrupt travel in Italy: extreme weather, strikes in critical services, protests and high-risk events that could turn violent, and seasonal dangers. Each comes with its source, its status and a public accuracy record.
Plans can be disrupted by how reality turns out. Knowing a risk shows you what could happen, so you can decide better.
Only what regularly causes trouble is listed: orange and red weather and heat warnings, strikes in air, rail, sea, big-city transport, health and energy, protests and high-risk football matches, seasonal dangers.
How to read the danger rank (A–E)
The colour is the authority's warning. The danger rank is ours: how dangerous and disruptive an entry can be, from A (worst) to E (mildest), on four criteria in the order shown beside the rank: spread · volatility · severity · costs. A dash means the criterion does not apply. It orders entries: it is not a probability and does not make a trip safe.
1. Geographic spread
- A
- Nationwide, or 10,000 km² and more
- B
- Several provinces: 1,000 to 10,000 km²
- C
- A city and its surroundings: 100 to 1,000 km²
- D
- A neighbourhood or a transport hub: 10 to 100 km²
- E
- A single site or venue: under 10 km²
2. Volatility and escalation
- A
- Can turn into a crisis within hours, with little or no warning
- B
- Conditions shift fast: it can get worse within a day or two
- C
- Moderate: follows the usual pattern, some chance of being worse than announced
- D
- Slow and predictable: announced, time-limited, rarely changes
- E
- Stable: no realistic prospect of escalating
3. Severity of harm and disruption
- A
- Danger to life or lasting injury; emergency services themselves under strain
- B
- Precautions are known, but failing them means severe injury; recovery may need evacuation
- C
- Lasting disruption, possible hospital care or significant property loss; knock-on effects on travel
- D
- Little effect on safety; minor injuries seen at a local clinic
- E
- A temporary inconvenience, recoverable within days (delays, minor fees)
4. Unplanned costs
- A
- Exorbitant emergency costs: charter evacuation, major medical transport, legal defence
- B
- High sudden expense: rerouted flights, last-minute safe lodging, rescue
- C
- Moderate: lodging after a delay, clinic fees, replacing documents
- D
- Minor: extra baggage fees, transport surcharges
- E
- Negligible beyond a normal travel fund
