Italy follows the EU's harmonized pet import regulations, and Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa are common entry points for pets from the US. The process requires standard EU documentation including microchip, rabies vaccination, titer test, and an EU-format health certificate. No quarantine is imposed on properly documented pets from the US.
