Headlines That Might Affect Your Trip this Summer: 2025

It's our 100th episode! We're celebrating by mixing things up a bit. In this episode we address some of the major headlines in the news about Italy and talk about what they mean for your trip this summer. We're talking about transportation strikes across the country and the increased price for public transit in Rome. We're also talking about new selfie rules at the Uffizi in Florence and cool things to see in Siena. We've got the info you need for your summer Italy trip 2025!In this episode, we mention two links that are easier to read and reference than a verbal list. - This is a full breakdown of Rome's ticket prices for public transit in Nathaniel's article on understanding Rome's public transportation system. - For info about strikes this July 2025, check out this link to a Wanted in Rome article and the official website for strike notices. If you can't read Italian, you'll need a translator app for the official site, which is of course, entirely in Italian, but the Wanted in Rome article has great info.- You can check-out our new Substack called Letters from the Balcony We're excited be celebrating 100th episode with you and are always happy to share our advice on traveling in Italy!
