After restaurants, swimming pools, gyms, cinemas, stadiums and theaters, the government approves the new decree that makes the use of the green pass mandatory for schools, universities and long-distance transport.

The text, 10 articles, enters into force the day after its publication in the Official Gazette, therefore by 7 August.

A green pass is also mandatory for those who want to have breakfast in the liberty lounges overlooking the Royal Palace of the historic

Gambrinus café in Piazza Trieste e Trento in Naples

. In the café - a must for many heads of state and monarchs - a waiter oversees access to the nineteenth-century stucco lounge, asking customers to show the vaccination certificate. "At the moment no problem - says the owner Massimiliano Rosati - also in consideration of the fact that the vast majority of customers prefer outdoor tables in the summer. However, someone, more sensitive to art, still asked us to be able to stay inside and then the obligation to show the green pass is triggered. From the customers we are experiencing maximum cooperation and even some excess of zeal. Like those Swiss tourists who, in addition to certification, have come with passports in hand ". Almost all of them, explains Rosati, "have the green pass already downloaded,others show the qr code. In this case our staff through the app downloaded on the mobile phone proceeds to verify the authenticity of the code ". 

The Venetian museums pass the green pass test on the first day

. There are very few cases in which there has been some difficulty for the entrants in correctly reading the health certificates of some foreign tourists. In the same way, so far, visitors can count on the fingers of one hand who have had to give up access to the places of culture in Piazza San Marco, because they do not have green certification. Some, however, all foreigners, left after reading the conditions for access, others asked the staff at the entrance for information, snorting and turning their heels. Of the approximately 500 people who queued to visit the Basilica museum at 9.30, a third took care to print the pass in paper format "for fear that the smartphone will stop working" or "the battery runs out before reaching the threshold. controls ". Thereit is also those who have equipped themselves with a folder to keep the certificate, for fear that "the QR code will be damaged and illegible". The same goes for tourists queuing at the Doge's Palace, where the museum staff, to avoid delays at the entrance, has been divided between those in charge of scanning the green pass, checking documents and measuring the temperature. 

'' Slow but regular access procedures '' to the

excavations of Pompeii (Naples)

, where from today - as in other Italian cultural sites - the provision that regulates the entrances through the green pass has come into force. This was communicated by the press office of the archaeological park. This morning the free antigenic swabs service was launched, outside the site, set up on an experimental basis in collaboration with the Campania Region and Asl Napoli 3 Sud for those who wish to visit the excavations but do not have a green pass.

The Green Pass does not block the flow to the Egyptian Museum of Turin.

Even before the large door of via Accademia was opened, the first visitors were in front of it. In the queue, first, a 26-year-old student from Padua. 'I have the Green Pass since July 30 - he says - I hope everyone does it to get out of this situation as soon as possible. Those like me who already have it are neither smarter nor more stupid: it's just a matter of finding the quickest way out "." It is an obligatory step - say two tourists - a tool to regain freedom. lost ". At the moment there are 900 visitors booked, and 22 guided tours. There are two pass points set up: the first is only for those with the QR code,the second is instead used for validation via the government app through the smartphones of the staff.

Tonight the first green pass test at the Verona Arena on the occasion of the representation of Nabucco, still with the maximum limit of 6000 spectators, but for the first time after the entry into force of the obligation of the green certificate

. The Arena Foundation has equipped itself by hiring another twenty collaborators who will take care of reading the green pass with the optical readers. The management of the Arena Foundation has already invited those in possession of the ticket to arrive at least an hour and a half before the start of the opera. The gates will open at 18.30. Entry will also be allowed by presenting the certificate of negative swab performed within the previous 48 hours, the certificate of vaccination or recovery.Those who do not have a green pass or similar certification will not be able to obtain a refund of the ticket.

Even in the Umbrian capital, citizens and managers found themselves having to deal immediately early in the morning with the new protocols linked to the obligation of the green pass, between the desire to respect the rules but also doubts and fears. And in some cases with few changes. Regarding the bars, with people sitting but at the moment to consume outside tables thanks to the sunny day, the new protocol with the green certificate does not seem to have brought big changes for the managers. "We have begun to respect the decree - comments an employee of a bar in Piazza della Repubblica - but I would still say that there is a bit of uncertainty and confusion. Are we only required or obliged to check? We will also see in general how the controls will be and any sanctions ".
