The U.S. State Department recently reissued its Level 2 travel advisory for Italy.
In the May 23 update, officials advise Americans to exercise increased caution in the popular European destination this summer due to the threat of terrorism.
Italy, which continues to celebrate the Jubilee Year in 2025, was one of several European countries to receive an updated advisory this past month ahead of the busy summer travel period.
"There is risk of terrorist violence, including terrorist attacks and other activity in Italy. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning," the State Department warns.
Potential targets listed include tourist spots, transportation centers, shopping malls and markets, local government buildings, hotels, clubs and restaurants, religious sites, parks, sporting and cultural events, schools, airports and public areas.
Visitors to Italy are urged to be alert in tourist spots, check local media for breaking news and enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) to receive messages and alerts from the U.S. Embassy that make it easier to be located in an emergency.
