Hello there,

my husband and I planning to go to Italy in couple of months from now ,there for i had to ask the same question via email to the Itlay consulate and i got this answer today the 15July.2009 ,there answer is :

Here are the instructions for the visa:

CAREFULLY COMPLETE THE APPLICATION FORM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU PRINT CLEARLY AND FILL EVERY LINE, INDICATING EXACTLY THE LENGTH OF YOUR STAY AS WELL AS THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT BORDER POINTS. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT YOUR APPLICATION SHALL NOT BE PROCESSED IF NOT LEGIBLE OR NOT COMPLETELY FILLED OUT, SIGNED AND DATED;

1. one passport size photograph;
2. your original passport or re-entry permit, valid for at least 3 months after your travel. Please submit the passport together with a copy of all the relevant pages.
3. airline ticket or reservations (MUST show arrival and departure dates);
4. proof of hotel reservations, proof of registration with an organized tour, vacation home rental, or letter of invitation for stay with family or friends who reside in Italy legally and permanently, which must be sent directly by mail to the applicant. In this case the invitation can be made through a self-executed affidavit , accompanied by a copy of the invitees' permit of stay in Italy. In the case of an Italian invitee a copy of a valid identification document will be sufficient (Please note that email or any other internet generated document may not be accepted).
5. Green Card or Resident Visa and either: certificate of domicile or driver's license or State ID (originals or notarized copies)

If applicant is self-employed, updated business license and most recent tax return filing. Students must submit an official letter of full-time enrollment from the school, college or university.
8. Proof of medical insurance covering the entire period of stay in Italy. U.S. health insurance is accepted only with a letter from the insurance provider confirming overseas coverage. The coverage for medical expenses must not be less than $50,000 and CANNOT be on reimbursement basis. For insurance purchased for the trip only, the whole travel period must be covered.

No, as both the UK and Italy have agreements with the U.S. allowing entry by American citizens without a visa.

A US passport holder can travel from the UK to Italy without a visa as long as the stay in Italy is for less than 90 days and for business or tourism purposes.
