Italy is introducing a mandatory Covid vaccination certificate from 6 August, the latest country in Europe to announce such a scheme.
The move will allow those aged 12 and over who have received at least one jab to access a range of venues, including indoor restaurants, cinemas and gyms.
However, after disagreements within the governing coalition, the pass will not be needed for transport.
The virus is surging again in Italy, driven by the delta variant.
