I did. Flew London / Italy, then cars and trains in Italy. Bologna / Milan and Bolzano / Verona / Milan by train. The trains are excellent, and on long distance trains (and the Malpensa 'express') alternate seats are blocked. Carriages are 'one way' (one door to enter, one to leave). Sanitiser everywhere, social distancing routinely practised at stations. Mask compliance 100%. Regional trains are not as strict but are comfortable and not that busy. Where I work, meeting rooms have restricted numbers and everyone wears masks except at their desks. Restaurants and hotels are well organised, hygiene measures well thought through, it varies but compliance levels much higher than in London.
Overall, Northern Italy is dealing with Covid far more effectively than the UK. As reflected by their numbers.
Whether they will be able to hold the line given the number of foreign visitors in the North is an open question, but it won't be for want of trying.
