Jordi, I think since you posted that particular situation of Italy 
closure might have changed for the worst.

I can tell that France said initially that all routes waterways and 
airways open to Italy.  It then changed to some of them being closed 
(notably the airways).

I can tell that in Romania it is said all ways closed to Italy.

I can tell that other countries made similar statements in recent days, 
towards closure.

I can also tell I understand the reasoning behind you mention when you 
say allowing only business travellers (no tourist).  It might be the 
case.  But in the end, I do not see why business travellers would be a 
different kind of humans, medically speaking.
