Italy is emerging from its COVID-19 nightmare into what is usually its busiest season for tourism. The industry normally brings in 13 percent of the country's $2 trillion GDP.

Special correspondent Malcolm Brabant reports from Rimini, on Italy's Adriatic Coast. PBS NewsHour is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders
