GREEN PASS: To participate in on-site (indoor) events you need to be in possession of the so-called EU Green Pass (Italian page -  English page), or an official certificate from the EU Zone, Schengen Zone, Canada, Israel, Japan, or USA.

You can obtain a Green Pass by doing a rapid antigen test in Italy. You can do it in pharmacies in South-Tyrol. It will be valid 48 hours.

Besides BOSK events, the Green Pass is also necessary in many places like the University, inside restaurants, museums, concert halls, etc. 

From September 1st, the Green Pass (or an equivalent certificate) is a requirement for domestic travel on long-distance trains (Intercity, Frecce, Italo) or flights within Italy, or on inter-regional coaches and ferries.
