ZTL rules, city by city
Every Italian city sets its own rules, and only side by side do you see how much they differ. The table below compares, for every city on this site, what matters before you set off: the state of the main ZTL right now, worked out on Italian time; how many hours a week the centre is closed; what happens on Sundays; whether visitors can buy a paid ticket; how long the hotel has to register your number plate; and how many cameras there are.
Use the filters to keep only the cities where you can buy access, those whose centre is open on Sundays, or those you can drive into right now. Each row links to the city's full page, with all its zones, exceptions and dated sources. A city is only added once all its rules have been checked against the city's own acts.

The “right now” column covers each city's main zone; other zones may keep other hours, listed on each city page. Worked out with Italian time and public holidays from the official hours. The sign at the gate always prevails.
What the comparison shows
Of the 20 cities compared, 7 sell access to visitors: Bologna (€6), Ferrara (€20), Florence (€5), Milan (€7.50), Palermo (€5), Parma (€5) and Reggio Emilia (€6.50). In the other 13, you can only drive in with a specific permit, usually arranged by your hotel.
The centre is closed around the clock in 9 cities: Bergamo, Como, Ferrara, Modena, Pisa, Reggio Emilia, Siena, Treviso and Verona. Elsewhere it only closes at certain times: 15 hours a week in Turin, up to 129 hours in Lecce. In Milan, the main zone is not closed but charged.
On Sundays, the centre is open in Florence, Milan, Rome and Turin; it stays closed all day in 10 cities.
At a hotel, the deadline for registering your plate ranges from 3 hours in Florence to 10 days in Turin. In Treviso, the guest registers the plate, not the hotel. For 5 cities, the city publishes no deadline: ask the hotel before you arrive.
