Italy will reinstate passport controls within its Schengen borders for the G8 Summit to be held in L’Aquila July 8-10. The passport controls will be in place from June 28 to July 15. All travelers arriving in Italy will need to be prepared to show their passports to enter. The Schengen area comprises 25 European countries that have waived passport requirements for travel throughout the region for anyone arriving from a member country. This includes Americans who arrive in one member state, pass through immigration formalities and then proceed to other member states. The name Schengen refers to the city in Luxembourg where the original agreement was signed in 1985.
