Yes, but with conditions. Lenses must be clear (not tinted), frames cannot cover any part of your eyes, and there must be no flash reflections on the lenses.
What background color is required?
Plain white background with uniform lighting. No patterns, shadows, or other objects in the background.
Is Italian passport photo the same as Schengen visa photo?
Yes, Italy uses the standard European 35×45mm biometric format for passports, ID cards, and Schengen visas.
