 * Hello Ricsca,
 * Thanks for reaching out regarding your sitemap. Though, there is a language barrier,
   I see that the Google Search Console reports that your sitemap is not being fetched.
 * Unfortunately, Google doesn’t provide any more information about why they cannot
   read the sitemap. The sitemap loads correctly from my end. And the [sitemap validator](https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html)
   reports no issues/errors.
 * Does the [URL inspection tool](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9012289?hl=en)‘
   s live test show any errors with the sitemap URL? If yes, please resolve the 
   errors.
 * Did you submit the sitemap to the Google Search Console profile that matches 
   the preferred URL format, including HTTP(s) and WWW or non-WWW?
 * If you’ve checked everything above, please contact Google for further assistance
   [here](https://support.google.com/webmasters/).

 * My sitemap url:
 * [https://mercatino.tuttopappagalli.it/sitemap_index.xml](https://mercatino.tuttopappagalli.it/sitemap_index.xml)
 * I found that if I delete the sitemap and insert it again, after a few hours everything
   turns green and I write “successful” but after a few days I get the error with“
   unable to recover” again.
