List of pharmacies offering COVID tests
https://gsud.cdn-immedia.net/2021/09...e_Aderenti.pdf lists pharmacies all over Italy offering rapid antigen tests. I saw it mentioned as listing pharmacies agreeing to do the tests for 15 EUR, but I'm not sure if that's limited to Italian citizens/permanent residents, under the new rule that unvaccinated people need frequent tests to go to work. Anyway, it's sorted by region and city, and you can do a Find for the city where you're looking for a test.

Just returned from Rome last night. There are Farmacias everywhere and their testing hours are usually from 8 or 9am to 2pm, then return from 3pm to around 7pm. The easiest way to find one is to walk in and ask if they do covid testing. Usually there is a white tent near the Farmacia, and one walks into farmacia, pays, then goes to the tent where the test is administered. Take your passport because they need an identification/information for the printed certificate. Cost was 22 euros. Results in about 15 minutes.

Just a piece of an advice for those who need to make a test in a pharmacy in Italy: starting today, all the workers need to be either vaccinated or have a test done when they go to work. This means that there will be much more people that will require tests in pharmacies. Be aware of that and book a test in advance in possible.

Just in case it's of help for anyone, as I'm seeing some minor queuing outside pharmacies... pharmacists might either come out and ask customers/put a sign out to distinguish between those who are looking for a test or anything else. If you read/hear the word "tampone" it means they're talking about Covid tests. It sounds like "tampon", just with a final 'E' pronounced like in 'end'.
