Italy has long been a summer hotspot for globetrotters everywhere — but an updated travel advisory has just been issued for the beloved European vacation destination.

The country is one of the most popular destinations for many Americans offering spectacular city breaks in the likes of Rome, Bologna, Florence and Venice.

Americans in Italy this summer should be more alert at tourist sites and other public venues because of the risk of terrorism, the State Department said in raising its threat assessment for the country.

On May 23, the US State Department has issued Level 2 travel warning for Italy, that means “exercise increased caution” because of possible terrorism.
