→ Italy visa for Santomean citizens

As an Italian passport holder, you'll be pleased to know that a visa is not required for stays of up to 15 days in São Tomé and Príncipe, allowing for a wonderfully spontaneous island getaway. While there's no visa fee for this short duration, remember that São Toméan currency, the Dobra, is not widely exchanged outside the islands, so planning ahead for cash is advised. Given the distance and limited direct flights, you'll likely connect through Lisbon or another major European hub, so factor in longer travel times and be prepared for a significant time zone difference.
