This week we're talking about current events and news that may affect your trip this late summer and early fall. We'll tell you how to stay up-to-date on wildfires in Italy, why beaches are less crowded this year, and talk about instances of tourists behaving poorly in Italy's national parks.


Important phone numbers:

To report a fire call 115

For forest rangers call 1515
