The Covid vaccine certificates showing on the NHS App are now recognised by the Italian Green Pass scanning system. But make sure you show your second vaccine bar code as the first one creates a fail.

We have just had to show evidence of the second vaccine here in Italy. No one has asked about the booster. If you download the NHS App you can see the bar codes for both your two vaccines and also the booster. But no one is interested in the booster at the moment.

I realise that this is an old message. Hope you sorted the problem out.
Do you have any paper evidence of your vaccines? Or I don’t suppose you ever took a photo of the QR code- that is usually accepted.
Do you know if the problem is that the QR code has expired? It automatically renews but maybe you need to refresh the App.
How frustrating.
Yes, we have had our NHS App QR code scanned by the Verica App to gain access to events and to board a train and it worked fine. I downloaded the VericaC19 app myself and checked that it worked with my husband’s NHS app. Make sure you use the QR code for the 2 vaccination.
In our experience in italy they scan the bar code and aren’t interested in any instructions. If the scanner rejects the QR code you wouldn’t be allowed in. The scanner rejected my paper copy but accepted my sister’s (not sure why) but it accepted my code on the NHS app. Suggest you have both the paper and App version.
We used Collinson at their drive in test centre near Gatwick. Use the code BA20OFF to get a discount.
You can get BA discounts with other test providers through this link - it’s not just for BA passengers

We managed to do the drive to italy with an overnight stop. We had a test at 14.30 in U.K. with the results back same day. Caught Eurotunnel early the following morning. Stopped overnight in France near the Swiss border and made it into italy before tge 48 hour deadline.
We had our test at Bologna railway station and it was free- you hang around for about 10 minutes to get the results. Results provided in both paper and email form- in English. Organised by Italian Red Cross at major stations. It was an antigen test. We chose this route as the pharmacies we enquired at referred us to private clinics charging around €90.
Agreed- this Is great news. Together with the cost of Covid tests coming down in the U.K. it makes trips to italy more feasible.
Interestingly at no point were we contacted during our 5 day quarantine recently.
