As stated on the website of ENAC - the National Civil Aviation Authority - during strikes there are so-called "protection time slots": 7 to 10 a.m. e 6 to 9 p.m. flights must still be made.
We recommend, therefore, not only keeping an eye on the list of flights guaranteed in the event of a strike on Enac's website but also to consult the website of the airline with which you will be flying-this way you will stay updated about possible inconveniences related to your flight.
