IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR DRIVERS
Starting in April, a ban on disembarkation and circulation is expected to come into effect on the island of Ischia for vehicles owned or driven by residents of the Campania region (Italy) or registered there.
Participants residing in Campania or with vehicles registered in Campania who plan to reach Ischia by car should contact the Organizing Secretariat for information and required documents for the permit by March 15, 2025 (lpaw2025@lists.lnf.infn.it).
As these restrictions are expected to apply also to vehicles registered in Campania, all participants (including non-Italian participants) planning to rent a car to reach Ischia are advised to inform the rental agency of their destination, specifying their arrival and departure dates, and to request a vehicle that is exempt from the island’s disembarkation and circulation restrictions.
