Default Mosquitoes in Italy

Back years ago, one of the regular posters to a.t.e complained several
times about mosquitoes in Milan. I believe he was an Aussie who lived
there several years?

Been to different parts of Italy several times, though mostly in May and
early June.

Never encountered any problems with mosquitoes. Maybe a bite here or
there. Once in Venice, the place I stayed had those plug-in bug zappers
of some kind in the rooms.

But it was never the scourge that he made it sound like.


Been to Italy a few times, but never found mosquitos a problem.

Is it worse in July and August?

Anyways, a place I booked in Pisa for an upcoming trip lists under
"Services" mosquito nets in all rooms.


Sounds strange anyway, I never encountered something like this in Italy.

Only thing you should avoid is to switch the lights on in the night when
the windows are open, tht will attract all kinds of mosquitos and bugs.

So for that sometimes you will find windows with insect screens.

But actual mosquito-nets I never seen in Europe, just know that from Asia
and South America.
