From new flight and rail routes to EES passport checks and an important tax deadline, here's what to expect in Italy next month. Rail and public transport services across Italy are expected to be hit by severe disruption on Friday, October 3rd, due to a 24-hour general strike. You can find a full list of transport strikes planned for October on the Italian transport ministry’s website (in Italian).
