What will the weather be like?
In May, Tuscany experiences an average temperature ranging from 59°F to 73°F. The days are usually warm and comfortable, perfect for events (like our wedding), outdoor activities and sightseeing. However, it is advisable to carry a light jacket or sweater for cooler evenings, as temperatures can drop slightly at night.
What documentation do I need for my flight?
To fly from the United States to Italy, you'll need a valid passport with at least six months remaining before expiration. Italy does not require U.S. citizens to have a visa for stays under 90 days for tourism. It's also wise to have travel insurance covering health emergencies. Lastly, ensure you have accommodations booked, as you might be asked to show where you're staying upon entry. (you can show them the confirmation from the Villa di Nano stay.

Attention: If you have a passport that expires in 2025, you may need to renew it. The law is that it must not be expiring within 6 months after your return flight.
