Covid test requirements to enter Italy

I am going to Italy in two weeks time and the Covid test requirements to enter Italy are confusing.
The UK government site states.
You must show evidence of a negative PCR test taken within 48 hours before entering Italy OR a negative antigen test taken within 24 hours before entering Italy.
However, the EU passenger locator form states.
In the case of arrivals from the UK and Northern Ireland the molecular swap test (PCR) must be taken in the 48 hours prior to entering Italy.
Could somebody who has been to Italy in the last week please confirm which test is required.
Thanks

1. Passenger Locator Form: EU Digital Passenger Locator Form.
2. Covid-19 'green pass' or EU Digital Covid Certificate based on vaccination or recovery.
3. A negative antigen test (taken within 24 hours prior to arrival) or PCR test (taken within 48 hours prior to arrival).
FFP2 masks required on flights in/out and on public transport in Italy (and I think on gondolas and some lifts).

It might also take a while for the UK and IRL government sites to be updated as I think the information is sent via the respective embassies.
The Valle d'Aosta region has become the first Italian region to be classified as an orange zone, this means skier numbers will be restricted. The maximum numbers are 11,223 skiers in Cervinia, 6401 in Pila, 8399 in La Thuile, 6942 in Courmayeur, 408 in Valgrisenche and 199 in Ollomont. If the Covid situation worsens and the Valle d'Aosta is classified as a red zone the ski lifts will have to close.

This presumes you are fully jabbed. Gets more complicatd if you are travelling with children who are not vaccinated but of an age where they are vaccinating in Italy.
