Travelling between countries in the schengen area with vaccination proof that's accepted but not part of EU covid certification?

Accepted answer

Travel between France on the one hand, and the Benelux, Switzerland, or Italy on the other hand is almost unrestricted, aside from the occasional self-report locator form. Officials unaware of the rules isn't a huge issue as I would not expect to meet any official.

For Italy, there is a website where you have to report a bunch of information including the countries you have been to in the last 14 days. Formally, this doesn't directly answer your question but it suggests that only the last 14 days count and should alleviate some of your concerns.

One big restriction is that while driving is allowed, taking a train or bus leaving from France requires an EU Digial COVID certificate (and not merely a recognised vaccine). Airlines also sometimes ask for it. It also seems to be required to enter Italy. I would therefore strongly recommend getting that certificate beforehand.
