Life in Italia publishes editorial articles about travelling in Italy and about Italian food and culture. We research them carefully and list our sources, but some information changes after publication. Here is what that means in practice.
Travel Information
Timetables, fares, opening hours, booking rules and local regulations can change, sometimes with little notice. Our articles are dated so you can see when they were last updated. For anything your plans depend on, check the official provider's website shortly before you travel.
Events and Festivals
Where we mention events, festivals or seasonal traditions, dates and programmes are set by the organisers and can change from year to year. Confirm them with the official organiser or the local tourist office.
Weather and Seasons
We describe typical seasonal conditions to help with planning; we don't publish forecasts. Weather, sea conditions and mountain conditions vary, so check a current forecast and any official alerts before and during your trip, especially for ferries, mountain walks and driving.
Food and Drink
Our food and drink articles are general cultural information, not dietary, allergy or medical advice. If you have an allergy or dietary requirement, ask the restaurant or producer about ingredients. Articles about wine are not encouragements to drink: alcohol carries health risks, and you should never drive after drinking.
Transport and Driving
Our transport and driving guides explain how things generally work. You remain responsible for following current laws, road signs, operators' conditions and the instructions of officials — including rules on traffic-restricted zones, speed limits and alcohol, which apply to you whatever an article says.
Links to Other Websites
We link to external websites, mainly official sources, so you can check information yourself. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content or availability.
Commercial Relationships
Life in Italia doesn't currently carry advertising or sponsored content and doesn't use affiliate links. No business pays to appear in our articles.
Guide Rank
Guide Rank is our own editorial score for how useful, clear, well researched and current we consider a guide to be. It is not a search-engine ranking, an official rating or a guarantee.
Accuracy and Corrections
We base our articles on reliable, preferably official sources, revisit time-sensitive information and correct errors when we find them. Even so, we can't guarantee that every detail is current at the moment you read it. Our Editorial Policy explains how we research and correct articles; to report an error, email lifeinitaliya@gmail.com (opens in a new tab).
