A total 228 citizens returned to Italy from Argentina on Wednesday, bringing to 1,828 the repatriations from the country since the COVID-19 pandemic began in mid-March, the Italian embassy tweeted.
The Italians were stranded in Argentina when national borders were closed and international flights were suspended in a bid to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus.
Italy's foreign ministry has worked intensively over the past three months to bring home citizens from countries all over the world.
The foreign ministry said on Monday it had arranged the repatriation of 96,200 Italians from 119 countries in more than 1,000 operations.
