Bellagio's ZTL is seasonal: 10:00-18:30 daily from 1 April to 31 October, and on Sundays and pre-holidays 15-31 March and through November. Entry is by permit, not Euro class.
Locally the zone is called Zona a Traffico Limitato Bellagio (Italy) — that is the wording on the boundary signs, on the official portal and on any penalty notice, so it is the phrase to search for once you are there.

Bellagio’s lakeside centre is not closed all year and is not an emission zone. It is a seasonal ZTL whose gate decides on authorisation — residents, taxis, buses, permit holders and plates registered by a hotel — with your car’s Euro rating playing no part.
The Comune di Bellagio’s Polizia locale notice sets the calendar in three parts: 15–31 March on Sundays and pre-holidays, 10:00–18:30; 1 April–31 October every day, weekday and holiday alike, 10:00–18:30; and 1–30 November on Sundays and pre-holidays, 10:00–18:30. The notice records that the same pattern ran in 2016 through 2021. Outside those windows — most of winter, and every weekday morning before ten in season — the restriction is not active.
Accreditation goes through the comune: online via the Polizia locale section of the municipal site, or on the form handed in at the Polizia locale office. Get it done before you drive in. An unauthorised pass is sanctioned under Article 7(14) of the Codice della Strada at EUR 83–332, reduced by 30% if paid within five days; the comune publishes no separate figure for Bellagio.
