There is only one way to enter the United States for tourism right now, a legal way even though it requires having many days to spend on vacation.
Holders of a valid ESTA can go for tourism by first spending at least 14 days in a nation not affected by the travel ban. So it would be possible to travel from Italy to Mexico, stay here for 14 days and on the morning of the 15th day take off for New York without any problem.
By transiting through a nation such as the United Arab Emirates, the Caribbean, or other areas excluded from the ban, one can then depart for one's preferred U.S. destination and move internally without hassle.
