Depending on the case, the green certification has a different duration of validity.

Being in possession of this certification will also allow you to travel to any red or orange areas, participate in events and parties and access nursing homes. And from 1 July it will also be valid for travel to EU and Schengen countries without the need to undergo tests or self-isolation.
How to get it
The message sent by the Ministry of Health also includes a code that is used to identify oneself on the Ministry’s website in order to download the green certification. It is also possible to access via SPID or CIE or with the health card number for those who are registered with the National Health System.
