Also, I'll just be transiting HEL on June 29. I'll be staying 4 nights on my way back, but that's in mid-July and the requirements will be gone by then. Will I have to meet those requirements to transit HEL on the way to FCO on June 29? I haven't flown through Helsinki (or anywhere else in Europe) since 2019 so I don't know which entry requirements they would apply in this case... it seems like once I've entered Europe, there is nothing preventing me from just leaving the airport rather than staying and taking my HEL-FCO flight... or have they changed that?

From the IATA link:

And as long as you have proof of vaccination you'll be fine since you're entering Schengen via Helsinki. If you had flown ORD-FCO-HEL, for example, you wouldn't need to show proof of vaccination because Finland will you consider you to have "arrived" from Italy.
